[QUOTE=svoshop;4462359]Hey Mike your Lambo focus is a nice problem to have!

Im sure based on your track record, the new attention to the TT and future additions will be epic.

 

In the video you sent me I saw tire smoke and then the car just choked. There are so many little things we will share and get you dialed in especially if you wanted some mo powa! I think this car will be a blast for your wife and you will just have to enjoy it once in a while ha ha!

 

[quote=Karl911]Not petite. lol

 

Correct. I drove the car for the first day and a half (my own best trap was 160.3) and the last half day we switched to Team Insanity's lead driver who weighs about 140 or so. We wanted to see what our fastest traps would be.

 

So in the one head to head race our driver was about 25 lbs heavier than your wife. So weight was not much of a factor. Had I been driving the car would have trapped about 1 mph Slower.

38 lbs rear is too much. We tried various pressures and got our best results at 26 lbs in the rear.

On Sunday at the time of the race we had about a half tank of fuel. So that erased or more than erased the fact that your wife is 25 lbs lighter than my driver

There was no grudge match. I post all my 991 turbo races regardless of how they turn out. I posted on my YouTube channel a race with John Morgan's Cobb stage 2 991 TT where he crossed the quarter mile line ahead of my car (my car has faster trap and lower ET but he killed me on the reaction time). And we were not expecting to race your wife which is why we lined up two lanes to the left.

We also struggled with traction both days. We tried about 5 different tire pressures. Tried launches with traction control off and on. Tried launches with PDCC switched on and off. Tried standing on the launch control or barely touching it. Tried standing starts and light rolling starts and spun tires on both.

Your car is strong. You will need intercoolers for sure to have a shot at 165 in Ocala

 

Not entirely true. See this post which has the slip. I had better ET, you had better trap by 0.2mph. That ET wasn't close to the best ET either of us had that day so it's essentially meaningless. I was car 7, you were car 5.

I stand corrected. Yes my car had a horrific launch. But I still put up the video.

My point was that most here seem only to put up videos where they win. I put up everything. I was really surprised at the tone of the posts you some of the Cobb folks (not Cobb itself or Sambo) I received in return for posting the Wannagofast video. Nonetheless I will keep posting all my 991 race videos regardless of the outcome and keep disclosing what mods each car had so members and potential buyers of the mods can see them in action.

 

It shifted into second and started from there... haha


You know I will be calling you... Just this time, it will be more than a week before the race

Where's all the videos at?

 

I have videos which I will post and I've already put up on my YouTube page but they are all lame. I didn't really have any interesting matchup other then the unplanned match up with the Cobb stage two 911 Turbo S. My videos are just my car beating up slower cars and they are from the second day.

The first day I mounted my go Pros on the right side of the car but then found out from staff that the right lane was faster than the left. So the videos don't really show the other cars at all from that day. I fixed that on the second day by moving the cameras to the car's left side but only kept the cameras up for half a day as the second half of the day we took down cameras and put in a much lighter driver than me in search of finding the car's highest trap speed.










I have no GoPro video of my car racing the Cobb stage 2 car because it was an unplanned race.

If it were planned my cameras would've been on. I took a video of that race from the starting line because I wasn't driving. When I wasn't driving (most of Sunday afternoon) I took videos of all my car's races from the starting line.

Honestly this event was dominated by American muscle with a smattering of some GTR's (including at least 2 Alpha 16s, a Switzer Goliath X which broke its differential on its first run and the Switzer War Machine) and seriously upgraded Lambos (UGR and Heffner).

There weren't that many other Porsches (and no other 991 Turbo S), McLarens (I believe there was one 650s) or other exotics. The one stock Lamborghini I saw it was a Huracan on Saturday which only trapped at 153. There was one Ferrari in the whole event (my friend's 458 which trapped at 150). This is why I wish I could do Shift Sector exotics which would be much more interesting to me.

 

I was there on Saturday. Too bad we didn't meet earlier. I'm a Florida boy and we were freezing so I didn't spend much time outside of the car.

My friend and I ran the car (6mt) 7 times that day. Ran on pump gas, luggage still in the front trunk, and rolling starts (still spinning in 1st and a little in 2nd).

Our last 4 traps were 159, 160, 158, 158. - Sport Cup tires. - Seems like it would've been a good race.

My best trap last year was 156 - only difference was Super Sports tires.

I will be there again next year and doubt I'll change the setup. Maybe I'll run on race gas, turn up the boost, launch the car and try to keep up with you (if you upgrade turbos). 911 Turbos (997 / 991) with PDK are ridiculous for so few mods.

This was me:

Great traps. Your tires definitely made a huge difference

 

You have a AMS Alpha 9 and you trapped 160mph?

What octane fuel were you running?

Am I missing something?

 

Dates are up on FB

 

The official Wannagofast results are now in and my GIAC Stage 2+'s fastest run was 3.4101 mph faster than the awesome Cobb Stage 2's best run -- 161.6379 mph to 158.2278. Here are the results from Sunday -- the faster of the two days where both cars posted their best runs:

http://www.wannagofast.com/event-tim...016sun_fin.htm

This 3 mph delta was consistent with the 3 mph delta in our one (unplanned) head to head race:


I felt the need to clarify because my friend Webcarconnection (who is a super great guy in person whom I look forward to seeing again at another event) had posted here that he saw the Cobb car do a 160 mph run -- which would
Only be 1 mph faster than my much more extensively modded car.

The report of only a 1 mph difference, of course, Caused some members running the Cobb tune to make some comments drawing rather unflattering conclusions about the GiAC tune that, as it turns out, are not supported by the event's results.

People make buying decisions based on this stuff and I felt the need to correct this incorrect -- but I am sure well intentioned -- report.

I was shocked by the report by Webcar that the Cobb Stage 2 car ran 160 mph which would only be 1 mph faster than mine. Moreover the traps I saw from that car were in the 157-158 range.

I actuality, the 3.4101 mph difference between my car and the Cobb Stage 2 car is more in line with what I had expected. 158 mph with almost no Mods is a fantastic result -- some 8 mph higher than, for example, the 2 458 that ran. I don't think a different driver would have driven the Cobb Stage 2 car to a much faster result.

This is not a commentary on whether my car would have been faster than the Cobb/ByDesign Stage 3 with ByDesign intercoolers car. That would have been an apples to apples race. At ShiftSector, the ByDesign Stage 3 car was faster than the GIAC Stage 2+ car In head To head racing but the GIAC Stage 2+ car came
Home with a higher trap speed of the meet (on the better running day -- Sunday).

From what I understand that Cobb Stage 2 car will be back with more extensive mods at future events. Which means it's speed will go way up from what was a strong result with so little mods.
