Alex - Do me a favor and let me know how the experiment with the 555R2's go. I was just looking at them on the Nitto website the other day. I'm curious how their cold traction is. Thanks.

Congrats! That's very quick time.

I'm going to keep bugging you about the RWD

Do you feel the car is more rewarding to drve with RWD conversion?

I do. But some people may not. I think it's very subjective to be honest. Both have their benefits to them.

Truth is...if I was making a lot more power than I am now...I would probably go back to AWD to have as much traction as possible.

Divexxtreme - you're obviously a great 1/4 mi driver (thus, the ET) but those trap speeds are SICK!

(i guess i need to sell the supra and get the 996tt shipped to AK)

2bar with the 100shot of NOS or without??? (actually the car needs no NOS (yet), Todd removed the bottle before handing me the keys back last time-but I have plenty of extra bottle -about 25 of them- that are full in the garage )
I should have her in LA next week for a photoshoot, lunch and then you can take her for a spin while im in my meeting??

Deal!!! I am going through 996TT withdrawals . . . this will be the perfect remedy. BTW, I am very interested in hearing how your Nittos handle in the turns. Call me when you have a moment to talk.

Fynny you should mention that. The same Cobra guy I was supposed to race was at the track as well. Let's just say he doesn't want to race anymore.


You have a PM.

I think you are going to have a hard time finding anyone to race since you ran at a public track....When I first got my turbo back from Todd, I went to a open track drag night and ran the car at .6bar. Everyone witnessed the turbo run 12's at 124!!

Divexxtreme, If you are looking for some fun racing, We should meet up some time. I have some buddies with Vette's, and a E55 that think they are fast.
I might even give you a try. We are in N VA.

That is so awesome! Another tt in the 10's! That just confirms that the next time I go to the quarter mile I am disconnecting the front drive shaft so I can get a proper launch. I have run 135 mph but can't get below 2.0 on the 60 ft time. Very hard to launch these cars with the all wheel drive.

Congrats again very cool!
