enisguy, yes i beat him by 4 cars in a roll race. I also raced him from a dig and beat him (i sprayed a little in first) but i could not tell the distance between us in that run. My friend in the Z06 behind said the distance was about 2 car lengths and that was from a complete stop to just the beginning of 3rd gear.

those cars have the potential of running 11.9s @119mph. But most drivers trap very low 12s. I believe a below average driver should run not slower than 12.4 @116mph

MillaTK

Yeah, I think that is pretty accurate... If driven well, they are an 11 second car, stock... High 11's, but 11's none the less... I can't remember exactly what kind of trap speeds, but I think you got it there...

Those are some killer cars. Congrats!!!
Hmm. I trapped 117 last time out, so maybe I can go hunting??!....
...They're my target also. Can't wait to run into one. I would need heads and low 120 traps to make it a better race though (no juice here).

MillaTK

Didnt you lose to one not too long ago? but yeah... im sure you could be pretty damn close if you cant beat one...

I lost to one when I had a smaller cam and a few less mods. Never had a clean shot at him though... sounds like this guy had established great communication with the Porsche owner.

I will post the times. (no matter how disappointing they are) I have to run the stock F-1's this time. I have got them about 2/3 of the way worn down. I am getting BFG DR's next. I have never been able to launch my car as hard as it will launch. My best 60' time so far on the F-1's has been 1.78. I ran a 12.574 @ 108.34 before the cam and LT's. I am hoping for very high 11's but will probably run low 12's.

SouthFL.02.SS

1.78 on F1s is damn good!

99-LS1-SS

Thanks. The track was hooking great. I didn't just floor it either. I had to roll into it. With DR's I think something in the 1.6x range is possible. I would have to get a higher stall for anything better than that.

2002_TAWS6

That is exactly what I was thinking!

I ran 2.3 on a new set of nitto DRs. How embarrassing .

Next mod: Line Lock!

Gotta heat up those tires

2002_TAWS6

TTT...

gotta keep the people here reading about my biggest accomplishment.. YET

next on the list, 2004 Viper SRT. Lets just hope its not modded when the time comes..

I have the porsche twinturbo as well. That's a good accomplishment if you can beat one. Most of the porsche's power comes from 2nd gear and up (especially second)... when you hit the gas on second, the force pulls you back in your seats... my friends tell me it feels like a roller coaster in the passenger's seat. First gear revs too fast and may have a disadvantage, but once it gets to second, the race is on. it will accelerate from 100 to 160mph with ease. after 100 mph the car still takes off with force and you cannot even see the plates. congrats.

soundmaster

Road and track tested the 0 to 100mph. the porsche turbo stacked on top as #1:

Porsche Turbo 8.8 sec
Lamborgini Murceliago 9.1 sec
Dodge Viper SRT 10 9.2 sec
Mercedes E55 AMG 9.8 sec
Ferrari 575 Maranello 9.8 sec
Mercedes SL55 AMG 9.9 sec
Audi RS6 11.0 sec

These supercars produced:
Ferrari Enzo 6.9 sec
Saleen S7 8.6 sec

soundmaster

your car was probably 8.0 seconds... faster than the saleen s7.

Man, you must have HUGE seats to fit a 911 in them!

Good kill, although the Z shouldn't have won unless the 911 driver was granny shifting.

titanium barchetta

What about from 100-200.........??

Dumb comment by you, sorry.

MillaTK

Ok... I think thats what I was thinking about when I thought you didn't have a cam... I remember seeing that time, and knew you didnt have a cam. I didn't know you had gotten one. How long have you had it? Just curious...

2002_TAWS6

ok smart comment but i asked for it forgot to put the word "owner" in there..

correction: "I later took the 911 turbo *owner* for a drive showing him what my nitrous setup can do."

interesting.. dont think know i could beat an S7 though.. 0-100 times dont really say/prove much. Keep in mind distance is not a factor considered in the results.

Not trying to act smart or anything but in other words a car running 5.0 sec from 0-60 could beat a car running 4.8 from 0-60. Its good to know those times but remember the car running 5 sec could win if they both raced from 0-60. Its how fast/quick they covered a certain distance is what really matters as most people are more interested to know "whos in front?" or "who's going to win" sorta thing.

soundmaster, thanks for posting those times up. They were really interesting.

This is in response to Milla also. From a dig, the 911TT will beat a ZO6 by about a car length. It is all launch and once that is over with, the cars hang like that until the high speeds which I am sure at some point the Porsche should pull away because it has more top end(I'm talkin' 160+ here). From a roll, the ZO6 will put a car length on the Porsche due to instant torque on the Z06's part and turbo lag on the Porsche's part. That advantage again remains until very high speeds. Just wanted to set the record straight. The 911TT weighs almost 300lbs more than a ZO6 and loses more power thru the AWD powertrain. While it is a damn fast car, the ZO6 is right there with it.

Was it a 6sp Porshe or a Tiptronic?

2002_TAWS6

I totally agree with your post. Your right on with the comparison. I also noticed that the 911 turbo kept up with me better than the Z06 on high high speeds like close to 150 but i didnt want to keep going as I didnt want to spray in 5th.

The porsche was a 6spd. I think it actually weighs over 300lbs more than a Z06. Gotta love the awesome power per weight ratio on those Z06s. .

I always thought the 911 turbo was faster than a Z06 from a roll. Even after people told me Z06s were faster from a roll I still had doubts. But after the race I watched (and particpated in) I knew I was wrong. I drove the 911 turbo and the owner even let me floor it thats when I understood why people complain about turbo lag. But It still kicked in HARD at the higher rpms. Didnt like 1st gear in that car but 2nd and 3rd pulled just great!

MillaTK

hmm... yeah FLYNLO, nice post. see, my problem is that I keep thinking the GT2 and Turbo weigh about the same, which is not the case... I forgot that the turbo weighs something like 3500lbs or so... I guess I let my porsche bias get the better of me...
