Default Mr. Powells 996 Turbo, New record @ TX2K10

http://www.streetfire.net/video/mr-p...ord_742498.htm

For those who can't view street fire:

This is the setup it's running. Note the price.
http://www.boostlogic.com/xcart/prod...&cat=91&page=1

Makes 868hp to all four wheels. It was 2 wheel drive in this video.

Very impressive car, fastest 996 in the country, completely stock motor on 27lbs of boost. And it's been that way for about a year and a half now.

THE fastest car I've ever ridden in.

I apologize, you should note the wind in the background. 25-30mph tail winds. It's difficult to hold the camera still when it feels like it's going to fly away.

I love 996 Ts so much. It just seems like the PERFECT mix of everything i would ever want in car. And an absolutely amazing platform to build.

This one in particular is jaw dropping.

Howdy everyone! Thanks for the compliments!

I rev the car to 7800 RPM at the moment. The stock limiter is at 6700 though. I have a taller tire on the car so I don't have to cross the traps sooo high in the RPM range. I was crossing at 7k or so instead of banging the rev limiter before the end.
