Default Ride along in the Boost Logic Porsche

Still waiting for more footage from friends at the track so I can make the complete video, but I do have this uploaded so far. If you were at TX2K10 and got some footage of the car hit me up and I'll give you a place to upload it to!

Basically it's an in car video from my 10.333 @ 148.3mph pass. Best pass of the day was a 10.08 @ 148.8 and best MPH was a 10.3 @ 149.3. The funny part is both of those were 113-114mph in the 1/8th. The car went lean on a little higher boost, but went 117.3 mph in the 1/8th on another pass.

Turn up the volume because for some reason it hardly picked up anything

All passes were done with no 2step and having to launch as soft as possible. Best 60ft of the day was a 1.70 (missed 3rd), my 10.08 was a 1.778 60ft.

As far at Tollwaybandit goes, I was out Friday night with NO alignment and no telling how the car was going to handle at 130-140mph.

And Jeff (BADZ) I was hoping to get to BS with you at TX2K10 but I had to talk smack to ol Darksyd, DJ and Nick K instead!!! I did see your car up at Chris's and it was looking pretty good so not going to down talk it there!

Too bad you couldn't keep the higher boost, that 117 would have put your trap near the mid 150's.

Porsche=the new Supra?

Jesus dude, you really got that thing moving! Congratulations, I look forward to seeing some solid 9's out of that thing soon!

On another note, are you going to the mile this weekend? I would love to see the car in person!

I was predicting 170+ in Florida. I was hoping to have the first hurricane of the season to power me to it!
