SW owns and drives the fastest Supra and has the record at the Texas Mile at 246 mph. He ran that same Supra a few weeks ago at the mile and went 243 mph before lifting the head on it. He then was forced to slum around in his Black TT Gallardo built by Heffner (Texas Plates say: SWTTG). The only running he did up and down the mile was for fun during lunchtime on Saturday which is when RobMD's car was being run (against previously overdiscussed Lexus Turbo), and a White Viper TT, etc.
SW never did an all out run in his TTG for a couple of reasons, the main one being it is not REGEARED like the UGR TTG's (black,yellow, and orange) that were blistering down the mile all weekend). SW told me he would be bouncing off the rev limiter in 6th at just over 200 mph because of stock gearing.
SW is a fabulous "Car Guy" and drives the S**T out of his cars. He beat me and ATOMIC Z (decimated me) in a relatively stock, but well set up Z06 at TX2K8 at Texas World Speedway.

Pretty simple actually.... many people spent much time,money and effort to run their cars, others just ran their mouths. Many left the Mile looking for ways to improve their car for next year, others left looking to improve their excuses for next year.....

Does this mean you are going to attempt to beat Tom for the up and coming event or come up with better excuses why you didn't?

Ah, I knew about the dry sump but had forgotten. I thought the heads were Cobra heads and didn't know what they did for cams. I read about some of the durability testing they did on that motor - had the crank damper go up into the roof of the cell as I recall 
The Lightning testing was apparently not strenuous enough to cause that particular failure 
Thanks!

As for next year, whether or not I try to improve my car significantly will have no bearing on Tom beating me last event....... Oh, God. I cant even keep a straight face on that one

Tom beat me fair and square. Tom had a faster car. No excuse will change the results so why try....

The GT motor is a completely different one than what's in the Mustangs and trucks. My GT motor (internals) is bone stock except for the bolt on TT kit. It still has the SC on it and we put down 994 rwhp. I ran 13 200+mph runs in my GT (I am fairly certain no other car ran that many 200+mph runs at the Mile this time).
Durability......yep it's got it.

the white KR1000?
don't know anything about it other than when I asked what kind of power it was putting down (they said about 1000). I was lined up to race them on Sunday, did my burnout and popped a axle. If their power output was close I would say it would have been a fairly close race but they did say they have 2nd and 3rd gear traction problems.....this is where I would have the advantage as my car hooks in 2nd gear and up with the R6's on.

They meant 1000 crank hp as they told me it put down around 850 rwhp. Who knows...it's all moot at this point.
Rob is coming and running at our 60-130 event on 11/21 so we will all see how fast his car is. I have high expectations for his car as over the past few months I've gotten to know Rob better and I trust that his car is every bit as bad a$$ as he says it is...
