Congratulations to AtomicZ's GT2 - 200.4 mph!
I told you it had 200 mph in it! Great job Eric!!! These cars never cease to amaze me.
EDIT: he ran it 8 times and crossed 200 by changing his shift points.

Did he short shift a bit? I have found I run a bit faster sometimes if I shift a bit earlier.
In any event, Congrats, Eric.
I never doubted for a second that that car would run 200. The GT2 wings (which create down force) actually start to work against the car above 150.

I was his other coach,
I told him to short shift in the early gears to avoid heat soak the first half of the mile.
I am very happy for him (Plus I get my 200 mph Tshirt, LOL!).
Pretty old school build really, considering it made 735 RWHP at Hennessey's.
Small housing GT30's, IC's, and and intake is really all it has. Runs strong though,
even on pump (I drove it last fall on pump).
Great job Eric! He also ran back to back 190 mph in his ATOMIC Z today (after last
year's disappointing 189.9 mph)

Heck, look at the effect downforce has on acceleration between the GT3 and GT3RS below.
GT Purely Porsche magazine tested the two cars at the Millbrook Proving Ground and Bedford Autodrome with the same driver, one after the other.
0-60:
GT3 - 4.5
GT3RS - 4.4
0-100:
GT3 - 9.9
GT3RS - 9.6
0-150:
GT3 - 23.1
GT3RS - 23.2
60-150:
GT3 - 18.6
GT3RS -18.8
100-150:
GT3 - 13.2
GT3RS - 13.6
Note the effect the GT3RS's large rear wing/increased drag has on it's high-speed acceleration. Even though the significantly lighter RS is quicker than the GT3 from 0-100, at speed the GT3 catches the RS and eventually passes it. The GT3 is actually faster than the RS from both 0 to 150 mph as well as 100-150. Imagine the difference between the two at 200 mph. Drag would be exponentially increased.
Now, consider that the difference in downforce between a 6GT2 and 6TT is drastically greater than the difference in downforce between a 7GT3 and 7GT3Rs (both of which have large rear wings).
The 996TT is a slicker car, with far less drag, than a GT2, GT3, or GT3RS.
