Congrats again!

Once I run solid 12's N/A on street tires full weight, I may go the supercharged route. Looks like too much fun not to.

Congrats Hami! Your car looks solid n strong.
With all that power what kind of 0-60mph times are you putting down?

Im asking because my friend just flashed the ECU of his Panamera TT and does it in 3.38s, 1/4mile in 11.3s top speed 329km/h! All that with just a flash!!!!
If I kleeman my car I want to know how close I'll be. Had kleeman Denmark on the phone couple of times and I just dnt know what to do. If I pull the trigger itll be for May/June 2012.

The Panamera TT will destroy you even with a supercharger from a dig. They are no joke.

Hence the reason for "Destroy"

Please see line 5.

1. To ruin completely; spoil: The ancient manuscripts were destroyed by fire.

3. To do away with; put an end to: "In crowded populations, poverty destroys the possibility of cleanliness" (George Bernard Shaw).
4. To kill: destroy a rabid dog.
5. To subdue or defeat completely; crush: The rebel forces were destroyed in battle.
6. To render useless or ineffective: destroyed the testimony of the prosecution's chief witness.
Meaning....it will not be CLOSE.

A loss is a loss whether its by 1/2 a cars length or 5 car lengths.

actually I just calculated it again
the last time I did the calculation was for a run where I got 12.3 on my 1/4 mile

I just checked what I get on this 11.9 run and my 0-60 was 3.36s

I am guessing who ever can grip would win? :P
my friends usually compare cars from rolling starts it would be fun to see how that goes in my car

Your numbers just keep getting better
I wonder what the final numbers will be once you get the shifting corrected.

Around where I live we do short races from red lights mostly thus the reason why i was asking for 0-60 times & it wouldnt be possible to achieve those nimbers without lsd
