That is a fast 55, sports78. Congrats on being #1.

Two questions come to mind, though. 1) Couldn't you squeeze out another tenth to break 12 seconds? 2) Does the SL55 feel slow after your Ruf TT?

Do you think a Weistec blower would be quicker or would it just heat soak faster? Damn, your car is fast.

Congrats bro, have you ever weighed the car? Weight reduction mods? I messaged you on Instagram a while ago regarding your mods.
