M cars from BMW are all about the same. They're always E46 M3s (I hardly see the E36 ones anymore). The M5s catch my eye periodically (especially the Le Mans Blue colour).

M3 drivers seem to get pissed off when I'm driving faster than they are, especially when I'm driving the C. However, I think the best places to speed are on bridges (on the part that isn't actually on the bridge, such as the salt marshes that are a part of the Dumbarton bridge).

Bring the 996 to Sacramento this weekend for the grudge drags, and I'll give it all the competition it can handle. Unless we're doing a burnout contest...?

Somehow I feel you thought that was my 996 As much as I wish for one (TT... not C2, C4, C4S), it's not mine.... you should see it at CarLab meet.... certainly would love to see how the two compares.

hm the porsche...

... believes he can whack the SL65 .

Treynor, I hope you've got the Renntech Stage II package and damn good grip - the P-car believes the lightness and traction can deliver in the 1/4 mile. Now I'm not suggesting anything - but damn, there be fightin' words... and a free dinner involved .

Those are fighting words. Free dinner, hell. Let me up the ante:

IF THE PORSCHE SHOWS UP AT SACTO THIS SATURDAY, AND RUNS A FASTER BEST TIME THAN I DO IN MY SL, I WILL BUY A 997TT.

All I ask in return is the free dinner if I win the bet

I am up in Sacto. and would like to meet up, but I already have plans!!



And as for grudgefest, I am always out there! What color is your SL65? I may have some competition for your SL. My boss has an E55 with some Kleeman mods! He is always out there with me. We should hook up some time!

Justin,
I'll be at Sacto tomorrow evening with a Silver '05 SL65 on Bogart racing wheels and slicks. The license plate is "11SEC SL" -- you can't miss it What car will you be bringing along?

The SL65 accelerates like a motorcycle! Judging by the speed of which the speedometer is moving along the circumference.

Very nice pictures Treynor. I've downloaded the SL 65 run onto my computer's hard drive. Hope to see you on the 20th. If you're coming from the Sacramento area, you're more than welcome to caravan with the Fremont group (we're on your way down), although I fear that I might not be able to keep up.

I'll swing by in my S7? Santa Clara is pretty close to my house.

For those of you who don't know Ben from other car forums, he's an expert drag guy & has owned (and still does) many VERY fast street cars. I recall his RT10 Viper was putting out close to 850 rwhp.....think Ben detuned it a bit since it was a handful to drive on the street.

That P car better hang on to his azz. Ben's cars are serious indeed (I'm sure his is SL is likely close to being a 10 sec car).

Ben, what is your SL ET & trap? You've posted it before on other forums (which I have not visited in like a year so I don't recall (11.3x @ 127 mph?)).

-Matt
