I spoke with Joe an hour ago. The car was not near full boost AND he granny shifted it. 221mph is only the beginning. It will surely go faster. Joe's biggest problem is that, at that speed, the track does not have enough room for him to stop saftely.

Conratulations to Joe and EVOMS for a tremendous accomplishment. It *appears* that this *may* be the fastest 996TT ever created. Bravo!!!

Incredible achievment!
For the newbs, to put it in context, that "shake down run" would have taken 4th fastest car at last year's mile.

I think your right - so this car maybe faster than the Proto cars?

Yes, VRAlex ran a 212 last year, Eddie Bello ran a 228 with his aircooled TT.

Yes, by a considerable margin. I think Alex ran 211 or 212mph last year in his 996TT, which was an epic time. Of note, Alex ran that time in a gutted car -- carbon fiber doors, plastic windows, gutted interior, etc etc. I suspect it weighed around 2,600 lbs -- perhaps less. In contrast, Joe ran his time in a full weight street car -- around 3,300 lbs. I cannot even imagine how fast Joe's car would be if 600-700 lbs lighter.

Marty's Proto car is the fastest that has competed at the mile. He ran a 190 mph (I beleive).

Just have them do the same thing they did for Joes car. As you can see, nobody will be able to touch you.

There will be full coverage in an upcoming Supercars Exposed episode on Speed. I'm sure we will see some great footage from others after the weekend is over.
