Damn Jim I was wondering at first who was this guy coming up on me but you were kind of in my blind spot on the left. I did a quick burst to change lanes and then took off. I didnt realize it was you until I was caught up in the fast lane and saw a reddish wagon to my right. Sorry I didnt wave earlier and yes, Evosport has made my car quite fast.

Thank you Jim! This post was a definite change of pace from what we've been seeing on the forums lately.

Vic - please get to the drag strip and post just 1 trap speed! I really would like to know how fast your car is. You don't even have to launch the car really hard, just launch it and keep your foot down the hole way. I wonder if you would be at 120mph with your mods? That would be SMOKIN fast.

Lets do it- but you can run on normal gas instead of the 101. Do even drive your car right now or just from your parents house to the gas station and back. :p :p :p

Come on James, you have owned the car for what, 5 years and put only 7k miles on it. You don't even floor the car. DerekFSU runs NOS and super low 11 second quarter and if you are stating that you dont care then you must be faster than him- I would like to see your time slips.

You are going to have to come down to the real world and run 91 octane. I have run a few 101 tanks and its definitely a better pull. I ran 101 in my 996TT last week and it was sick.

Duane,

Running a Kleemann Stage 8 kit (Kompressor s/c, cams, headers/downpipes, LSD and custom ECU).

Dude just fill up with 101. I know i can't run 101 all the way but again this is just for fun. And you're definitely correct. Once i fill up with 101 the car "pulls" really strong especially when it hits the mid range rpm because of the bumpsticks.

There you two go again!~! James is a lil more confident now that he's got the KS8. ( I would be too!~! :p ) How bout this...I'll let you two run and I'll be the camera car. But since I'm stock and can't keep up with both you, I'll bring my other car out. I will also promise you the look on the face of the winner as it happens....how bout that? :v
