Switzer Sledgehammer shatters 60-130 record
#16
Thanks man, I will and you mean I hope TO run into TTG's ...I think this build is in the ball park of what the bolt on Twin Turbo Gallardos are running with the stock bottom ends. Not bad for a 3.6 liter 6 cyl. engine.

I have a bolt on TT Gallardo, and I will tell you that the only way I would ever run a 60-130 in 4.2 secs is if I were dragged by a top fuel dragster.
In other words, no bolt on TT Gallardo will want any of this monster 997, and only fully built TT Gallardo's will have an edge.

My Ford GT with a bolt on TT kit and completely stock internals, suspension, weight etc did a 4.52 60-130. I don't think it has much more than an extra -.1 or -.2 on a miracle run in it. Would love to see the first bolt on sub 4 second run and what kind of car it is.
Considering the P cars get it done with less than 4 liters and 6 cylinders amazes me. Big congrats

Tym Switzer ran a 4.25 second 60-130mph in my Sledgehammer on a 0.5% decline. Shift was a very solid 0.2 seconds. What an amazing time, great job!

Thanks Tym and David! I'm still shocked, but I think I can beat the .2 second shift.

How many miles have you put on since the all this power was added?
How hard do you push the car every time you drive it?

Thank you and props to Tym and Dk at SPI!
I guess the AWD that Porsche engineers put together is doing its job.

Thank you.
Agreed...this is my 4th car built by Switzer and I just have enjoyed the entire experience from A-Z.

Short is bone stock the way that the Porsche engineer teams wanted it for their needs. One thing is for sure, Tym and DK certainly drove it hard enough to shatter some records that will probably stand for quite some time.

Congrats on your 4.52...what tires were you running for that time?

I am not interested in shattered records. To do so requires that a time be broken once. I am interested in DD characteristics, longevity and overall wear and tear on internals that were never designed for this much power. I know the rods aren't. Are you planning on swapping them out?
