AWE and Fabspeed are working on exhaust components. I saw pictures of cars on the dyno. Hopefully, they will release those figures soon. And their $9,000 exhausts. Remember complaining about a Porsche tax???

Lorenzo and I actually met on the drive down and split up. I hit something, got a flat and thought my day was ruined 
The car had to be towed off the turnpike by the state police. Then had AAA tow me from the street to Town Motors in Englewood. They had my tire in stock and installed it immediately!!!!!!! Talk about excellent customer service.
By the time all was said and done, I was debating whether it was too late to head down to ATCO, which is 1.5-2 hours away. Because I'm dedicated (ie Stubborn lol) I drove down. Unfortunately when I got there Lorenzo was leaving with his 570S, so we never had a chance to run against each other.
Temps in the low 80s and humid, so not ideal conditions. But I got 10.38 at 131mph. And if you look at the slips, the first 1/8 is killer while the second 1/8 it starts to lose steam because of the stock intercoolers. Oh well, had I been there since the morning with better cooler conditions, I am certain I would have dipped into the 10.2s. Maybe next time

Guys - after my last three rentals got rained out, I jumped on a rental today at Atco. Sadly, I never made it down with my C7 Z06, but I took my McLaren 570S today. John Morgan finally made it down after a hell of a morning (gets an A++ for effort alone). Lots of great cars, AMG's M's, Vettes. Good crowd of car guys.
Rough morning - just couldn't get a good launch - a bunch of high 1.9's. Then I started launching from the concrete pad just to clean the tires off. And it made my real launches much stronger.
Couldn't believe when I saw the slip - a 10.275 @ 135.21 on a 1.672 60' time. Backed it up with a 10.422 @ 135.40 on a 1.789 60' time and a bunch of 10.5's and 10.6's.
Car is stock on Pirelli PZero Corsas dropped to 29 PSI and with $20 worth of 103 octane mixed with my 93 octane pump gas. (I used alot of gas during my 20 or so runs).
Before today, I knew the 570S had insane top end speed (maybe gearing, but it hauls at higher speeds), but I knew it would never leave the hole like my 991 TT could. Was just hoping to run as well as my 991 TT did back in the fall (10.8 @ 128 mph). Was shocked at how it ran.
Now - what mods? Cobb? Are you listening?

Thanks for keeping up on 6speed and sharing your experience on the 570 with us.

Thanks, guys. Appreciate the feedback. I am going to find a nearby dynojet to get a measurement. I am curious also. But I remember my E55 years ago running a couple of tenths faster than most at both Atco and Englishtown but still having 419 rwhp, which was average among all the other cars that were tested back then.

I did ran 570S at the track. There is definite turbo lag, but once it spools up it is gone.
it was solid 5mph faster on back straight at PBIR, but braking the car was squirrelly.

225 fronts will do that.
