That's always been the big joke because man honestly it sounds like *** with the straight pipes (which are on it now). I am modifying my old exhaust to have E-Cutouts so it doesn't sounds like a broken down UPS truck while driving it. LOL!

Chad, yes it feels good to be behind the wheel again. So much lost time without her!
Thank you all for the compliments.

I had the chance to drive a 2004 turbo s the other day at work. I had never really driven an all wheel drive car with much power before. This car had upgraded turbo's, tuning, etc. Est. around 600hp at the wheels. I must say that I was impressed at how hard it puts you back in the seat. Unlike most 2 wheel drive cars that just spin the tires, this one would almost hurt you how hard it put you back in the seat. I bet its even more of a rush in your car.

I want to build another race car (BBF and 2x Promod turbos), but also don't want another headache. Matt and I talk about it a lot but ends up with that just do we really want to mess with something 24/7 and can only enjoy once a week.
Matt and I have talked about a Ford GT next, but it would only have bolt ons and maybe a blower. Keep the Porsche for the big power. Our father LOVED the Ford GT and the original GT40. He almost bought one about 5 years ago.
Love the Lambo's but the cost to modify is redic. if we got one it would be already modified so the major hit of modifying isn't taken by us. LOL!

Looks wicked fast...and fun. Keep the shiny side up and bring it to the Mile next month. Eddie Bello could use some competition.

The car is RWD now. I have the entire AWD system out of the car. When it was AWD with the stock motor the car became extremly dangerous when it spun. The car at the time did not have an LSD and combine that with a massive amount of torque steer it made for an interesting ride. Plus the Porsche AWD system in the 996TT is junk and it was a miracle mine made it that long.
I have a complete CCW Drag Pack for the car, but in this picture from the other day I had the 19's still on the front. In the video the car has the front runners on.

Given the car hooks and he keeps it straight... we are talking on closing in on the upper 150's in the quarter mile.... as far as trap speed goes. Hell, he was near 150mph last time he went to the track with the old setup. 10.08 @ 148 or something of that nature.
