Hey Sean, I keep hearing about Tommy Banh these days, what is his shop called? Seems like he is building quite a few monsters...

I sure hope Alex was indeed on low boost b/c 212 running anywhere close to 1000whp is weak. Hell, a 250 shot Z06 went 203....

I'd imagine a low drag coefficient would be important at these speeds. Kiss the GT2 wing goodbye.

Alex just called.

He was more focused on his Supra today which hit 241 (according to his d box) before it blew a belt.

He ran the 212 on 25 PSI on a practice run. He is going to run 35 psi tomorrow.

Alex didn't blow a hose in the Supra, he shredded an accessory belt. Tomorrow should be fun! A stock 997 GT2 went 178 mph... IMPRESSIVE

Peter, have Tommy call Don...we shredded a couple $20 serp belts in my old Supra when I would rev the **** out of it....if Tommy left the power steering pump in the car, the bracket is probably moving around. Have him call Don, he came up with a fix that prevented it from happening again...

What about David's Switzer tuned 997TT?
It will be interesting how fast a 997TT with stock gears will go?? (low gears from fact)
VR's run is pretty amazing to me. I really wish some other big guns with 996TT would
follow thru with their claims of coming to the mile.
Good luck and safe passes to all tomorrow and pray for no bikers "down"
