Not even close. My 1.596 60 foot time vs 2 seconds for the 570s sealed the deal:

This was taken on July 23, 2016 at the Slipstream 1/2 event at Mid-State Regional Airport.

Unfortunately I only got 2 runs in as at the end of my second run near the finish line, my car ran over a big bump in the runway at about 156 mph and my left front tire made contact with the wheel liner, ripping a part of it right off the car. Car was totally drivable home after we ripped off a little more of the wheel liner to ensure the left front tire was clear but that was the end of my runs.

 

the 570S driver must of fell asleep at the line!!

 

For sure but even if he launched with a better reaction time the result would not have changed. My car's 60 foot time was 1.596 seconds while his was two seconds. And my ETA was much better as well.

 

Scott, great job. But he should have been gain on you near the end?

 

Trap speed for each car?

 

He pulled on me near the end but could not catch up as my launch was much better than his. His trap speed was 160 while mine was 156. Between the 4000 foot DA and the fact that my car was carrying 420 pounds worth of people (myself and my adult son) my trap speeds were a full 6 mph slower than my traps from the March event on the same runway which had very cool air and a much lower DA.

 

car sounded and looked great running around WRM a few weeks ago. nice run.

 

I heard the Northeast heat wave wasn't really helping you guys.

A friend with a GTR that ran consistent 171mph at the last event was struggling to hit low 160's this time. And even TighTT's 997.2 TT which hit 169 at the last event couldn't get past 163 this time. Hopefully you guys will have some nice cool air at the next one!

 

Yes the 4000 foot density altitude was a trap speed killer

 

Thanks! That was a blast.

 

I'm curious, was the 570 stock. If so, it's hard to believe it could out trap you. It looks like with a dead even start he'd beat you. That just doesn't seem possible. Stock for stock, sure. But with your mods, you should kill a 570 in both acceleration and trap speed. Am I missing something?

 

A friend of mine with similar mods on here trapped 134mph in the quarter mile with similar mods so I'd say that's pretty even with a 570S?

He totally fell asleep too. I think stock its capable of 1.6x or 1.7 60fts.

 

I am not sure if the 570s was stock.

As far as trap speed goes my car was saddled with about 420 pounds of driver and passenger ---that being myself and my adult son. That did not help trap speeds. Plus it seemed to be pretty affected by the heat. My trap speeds on the same runway in March were like 161 or 162 and only 155 or 156 at this event. Also the 570s only had a driver and no passenger.

No the 570s would not of been me with an even start. My ET was more than .2 seconds faster than his and again I was carrying a tremendous amount of weight and his car had one driver and no passenger and the driver was a hell of a lot smaller than me.

 

FWIW Car & Driver ran a 10.7 and trapped 134mph in a 570S for comparison purposes. Seems that a stock 570S and a stock turbo, tuned/bolt-on 991 TTS are about dead even in trap speed and close in ET.

 

My experience from speed events is that the 991 TTS with bolt ins posts a lower ET than the 570s or 650s but a lower trap speed.
