I did not think about magazines! Thanks for the insight.

As I said in my post, the 1.5 seconds was exagerated since a taller tranny will reduce that shifting advantage. Regardless, as you said it is a waste of time. BTW living 10k miles away I don't see why I would want to play down Sharkey, but maybe I am evil and have a hidden agenda
Cheers

 

Hey, Alex, how bout calling it the Blackcrow or Blackknight. The Blackbird was shot down afterall

You have to bring the car to our drive one day, man. I want to see if it can still turn in the twisties

And Jean, I think you should stop being so blunt all the time

 

Hidden Agenda? Alex is untouchable, IMO.

To this Day Alex has the fastest straight line 996 Turbo, a Tip non the less! until someone tops that he's Da'man!

Isn't that what it's all about? we're all here for SPEED and POWER!

 

Your hidden agenda is to make me run 9s It was good to actually be right for a change. After driving it I sorta speculated that it "felt" fast after 1000... After Bill S. figured out that stuff it seems that I was right about the car really picking up pace after 100mph. My guess is these turbos (yes they lag lol) would be really well suited to a 1mile run

I know how to break the ice more.. post some darn pics of that beast of yours!

 

LOL the 969 MAFIA to the rescue! We should take the Tiptronics to a gay-pride march I thijnk...

 

Well I fully expect to be shot-down soon by CJV, Alex and then some! This record will NOT last long. PLus I know the car has a 10.4 in it at least

I'd love to but would you stop having those drives during the German Autofest lol!

It's still set up for the twisties big time!

 

we got your back man! Buds for life!

haha, you and Sil got your little mafia going also, hahah

 

Let's all have a big:

 

Silvino is schooled in the Brazilian Ju-Jitsu and running 140plus traps lol... I'll have to go to the gay pride march on my own tho- since your'e now selling the tippy

What's next!?!?

 

damn. i feel like i'm being suffocated!
moderator please delete that pic!!!!

 

You're a good sport Alex, bravo!

I just downloaded the vid....you are just SICK man!! So proud of ya!! You da man! And you had better call me when you next go damnit!! You passed right by my stickin' house on the way up...shame shame on you!

 

Bah it's still a Tip You have to get a ride in it... It's very different to the last time

Thanks and as far as being a sport, much appreciated! James and I drove by at around 2am (suprised you didn't hear the cannons!)...

Now what have you done?!??! A Red AeroKit TT??! You need help It's gorgeous and 100X the last car. Seriously enjoy that thing to its fullest (I know you will) and mod it like mad

 

sharkster,

You mentioned two cars, but you omitted one. I understand EVO recently dyno'ed their latest GT3 based turbo motor and it will be a contender.

Your accomplishment cannot be understated. You are using a tt motor with stock displacement, heads, valves and cam. I believe your motor is a paragon for it's catagory. Given the right ambient temps, zero camber, drag radials and an LSD you will definitely be knocking on the door of the 9's.

 

Thanks Chad.. means a lot coming from you I did forget about that one plus a couple of crazy motors they did for the Middle East...

I really think that once you and others have worked out all the different kinks with a more involved motor build you will have paved the correct paths for my next motor rebuild

Hopefully I'll knock hard on the door soon. It's hard to just stop...

 

Hey Sharkey, I thought up a good name for your beast:

Black Dog

Oy Yah Baby!
