BMW 540i Dinan, 400hp / 400lb/ft... John
Mercedes E55 AMG, 480hp / 500lb/ft... John

We were also joined by Ryan Woon of Wide Open Throttle MotorSports who broke the records of ".world's fastest and quickest, street, 6spd Toyota Supra " with a mind boggling 8.62 ET and a 171mph trapspeed!

We were also joined by the crew from Evolution Motorsports . They brought their supercharged Porsche 997, as well as, their monster GT800 car. We had a chance to watch the GT800 break the record and become "the world's fastest 996 Turbo" with a blistering 10.37@139mph.

We plan on getting together again very soon. I'll keep you all posted. If you are in the Phoenix area and are interested in participating, let me know.

I have included some pictures of the day, as well as, a video of some of the runs.

I don't see any real driver's cars there...

Thanks, it's "street, 6spd Supra"

 

Awesome!

You should ask Robertp to join your club, if he takes the top off his cab it's gotta be good for 40 hp and be able to give your GT700 a run for it's money.

 

Thanks for posting the vid, Joe. Out of curiosity...what did the STI, Viper and Corvette run?

 

Nice runs. That SL65 runs was funny, in that he looked like he had 0 traction at the beginning. Must be impossible to harness a 1000 ft.-lbs. of tq. no matter how wide the tire. For a bone stock E55 that was impressive.

 

STI:broke the rear end and tranny on the first run.
Viper:10.8@149, broke his driveshaft on the second run
Vette:11.92@122

 

What an awesome collection of cars! Who was quickest that day?

 

The EVOMS GT800

 

All my favorite cars are in the same place. Woon's, Evom's and 1200hp Viper. It's like a preshootout event.

 

Nice vids...looks like you guys had lots of fun out there. I'll be spending lots of time in the area for business over the next year so ill definitely have to meet up with you guys

 

The Evoms car was quicker than the 1200+ hp Viper? If so... wow.

 

The Viper went 10.8@149
GT800 was 10.3@139

 

So the Viper had major traction issues...

 

Do you have vid of the viper or the Woon's Supra runs. Thanks
