She runs what she runs and it is what it is!

Geezus, I feel like I'm dodging bullets in Iraq reading this thread...I'm hoping the attacker in this thread will just go away and let the thread starter enjoy his thread (but what do I know)...
I just wanted to ask a question...*ducks for cover*...
Ricker, congrats on your build. The dyno graph makes perfect sense when one simply looks at the HP & TQ scaling, I'm not a dyno pro and even I can see that. Anyway the question--how the mother-F do you put down this kind of power on the street?
The kind of HP & TQ you're putting down would seem undrivable to me--I'm not knocking your car, I'm amazed with it. Just curious how the hell you drive it and if you can ever go past 1/2 throttle on the street w/out blowing the rear tires out even at freeway speeds? LOL At this point aren't the HP & TQ gains more for show than for literal "go" since it must be a bit*h to put the power down? I understand w/drag radials it could hook up, but daaamn.
One last question--what mods have you done to the transmission to handle all of this monstrous power?
Cheers, nice build

I don't put down quite the power as Sean (Well, we'll never know until he tracks this damn thing
), but I can routinely break the tires loose at 50mph with on flex of my right calf.When driving like I have a shred of common sense, the car feels completely civilized and so buttery smooth, you'd never know about the demon that lurks beneath.
The V12 TT's are deceivingly tame until you step on it a little
then hammer it, it feels like you are being pulled back into a small black hole, that funny feeling in your neck from all the torque just keeps multiplying, you find yourself rapidly running out of room & breath...

Glad you could identify w/it, it was funny last night's driving on desolate roads was the BEST litmus test for this ECU till I get to Sacram, really is something else Final stop was a shopping center w/prolly an EZ 1 1/2 city block straight away totally closed off from any cross traffic, tires were lit up a lil'
