Vivid Racing has hooked up with industry insider and marketing machine, Caleb AKA StuntMan for the 2009 Gumball 3000 rally. Caleb and co-driver will be bringing a Porsche 997 TT modified by Vivid Racing. If you don’t know what Gumball is, check out www.vividracing.com/gumball3000.

Caleb called a week ago and asked what we could do to increase the performance and handling of this incredible car. The next day he put the car on a trailer to send it out to us at Vivid Racing for a several cosmetic and performance upgrades. In 2 weeks time, Vivid Racing will be installing their new 750HP kit which uses modified VTG turbos, a Softronic ECU Flash, and some power bits from Agency Power. To keep the car planted, Vivid Racing is adding a set of Bilstein PSS10 coilovers and Agency Power adjustable sway bars. The car is equipped with a TechArt style front bumper and side skirts from NR Auto as well as a GT2 addon rear spoiler. With its already intense paint color and wheel choice, a matching Seibon carbon fiber hood and carbon vinyl wrapped roof and spoiler will set it apart.

We think Caleb will be happy with the finished product for this 8 day, 3,000 mile cross country venture. Stay tuned for updates on our blog here - www.vividracing.com/blog.

...and now we all debate quitting our day jobs and enjoying a cross country rally

 

I can't wait to see what this will turn into!

love the body kit, can you PM me a quote for 997tt.

 

I was always interested in these events, but it makes so little sense to me. So you pay 50k, for a small chance to make 200k?
I hear its basically one big party and not much serious driving.
Anyone do one of these and have some facts?
I can't imagine anyone would enter a car they really love
I'll be watching this thread

 

1. It's not 50k, It was 44k this year.
2. You can't make 200k, it's a rally not a race.
3. It is one amazing non stop party and you make a lot of life long friends.
4. Their is a lot of serious driving, and a lot people that take it seriously. But of course you will have a few people that just want to take it easy and enjoy the drive.

I'm still looking for a co-driver for a small fee if you're interested.

 

Take many pictures/videos along the way please!

 

Trust me, we will. I have a full HD camera crew that will be with us for part of the rally and Dan is installing the Hoyt camera systems in the car.

 

Sweet I can't wait.

 

the rims look bad! he can do better!

 

I'm shopping different wheels right now. Those are going to stay on for the Rally though.
