I must admit, the 127 mph is not the average of the last 60 feet but the speed at the point of 1320th foot. will recheck and provide some graphs for both!

I found an old calculation from my car during a TX MILE run:
0-60 == 4.2 seconds 0-100
60-130 == 7.0 seconds 100-200
130-186 mph == 14.8 seconds 200-300
(I dont have the calc figured out to 190 mph on that run)
taken from Oct 07 Texas mile runs
0-60 == 4.2 seconds 0-100
60-130 == 7.0 seconds 100-200
130-186 mph == 14.8 seconds 200-300

Rep Power: 606 I take it you didn't run a pbox during your runs. Thanks for posting your data Marty.

Also, to claim you still had 200 whp on tap at the mile is pure fantasy. By my math that means you did 221 with 1020-200whp or 820 whp.... Sorry bro but you are delusional even with "heartbreaker" dyno numbers. Also, please refrain from this continuous reference to clutch slipping at the mile because no one believes you unless of course you have the only clutch on Earth that slips in the low gears but not the higher gears with increased load. No slipping clutch allows you to turn up the boost and improve your time, that is a fact plain and simple that no obfuscation on your part can hide.
I would like to see your data from the mile because it would show if the clutch was slipping thru the long Gs and it would also show relative hp to the other cars that were not afraid to post their data. I think this is why you won't post any data from the mile for public scrutiny. What was the 60 130, 130 190 or 0 186 at the mile? Please post the data for the benefit of all or don't come on these FACT based data threads and talk about unknown, unproven or unverified performance numbers.You seem to be reading off VRs script. You may look at this post and think I am trying to **** you off but look at what am asking and you will see it is reasonable. Cheers, bro!

Rep Power: 606 Art, your continued refusal to post data about your car at the mile while continuing to talk about how fast it is makes you look foolish. Everyone here just ran their cars and posted the data. Why can't you do the same and verify what we already know...that you have the second fastest996 Porsche on 6speed. Everyone posts their initial numbers and then the improved numbers as they come in.

I stand before you as your humble servant requesting mercy at your benevolent hand. The package, in all its brown paper glory, still resides on my wifes desk at work. It will be overnighted today and she shall be punished. I believe a spanking is in order....

Post of the day. Oh and Kevin ......... we're going to need to see some data for that spanking to verify it actually happened.

Kevin,
You can have your opinions and call me delusional. I got nothing to prove here but will have a solid data for you when my car is running strong. My car was still on the hoist on Thursday evening in California without any testing then the car was placed in the trailor and on the way to Texas. Yes the car has more HP left in it and Jake from Tial could attest to that b/c he knows all the facts. Maybe you should call Todd K. to verify these statements since he was there with me. I was on the phone with ATS Carbonetics Rep. and told me to warm up the clutch a lot before the Mile Run and it should hold a bit better. Another thing, call Betim and ask him about it. He said he had to let off and go on it a few times b/c on top of 6th gear it would not hold. When you see my real 60-130 time then you will know the car's performance level or you will find some other excuses down the road.
