There would only be two sounds you would hear Dave, the turbos spooling, and your jaw hitting the floormats.

996TT
(hopefully this wont cause any drama).... But, as a previous w211 E55 K2 owner, I can attest that a 996TT Stage 2 with Diverter valves and exhaust is a faster car. I have seen a C6 Z06 with full exhaust bit the dust on a 996TT Stage 2.

The 23rd should be good for me too. Let me know when and where exactly need to program the GPS. May have to bring the S 320 if there is bad weather.

Nice... you should be around 620 / 650 hp with 600lb TQ (at all 4 wheels). A friend of mine has a Ruf 550 and that car can move, I could only imagine a GT740.

But let's just say that I outran a Yamaha R1 in the lane next to me at a stoplight, headed back to the house one night after work. I slowed down after I hit 140(very quickly), and when he caught up a second later, he flipped his visor up and gave me a . I wouldn't have done that, but we were on a divided highway with no intersections for a mile, and we each had an open lane as far as we could see.


This car is unbelievable!!!
If anybody has a P-car that needs tuned, Evolution motorsport in Arizona is fantastic. Ask for Nate, tell him Nick in Chicago sent ya.

If I don't get any feed back, I am going to set it in stone to meet at Streets of Woodfield Starbucks, at 10, cruise to J.Alexander's in Oakbrook at 11. After that, we cruise to Millenium Park or Shedd Aquarium and have a photo shoot there.

I was huge into the bike scene and usually I argue against anyone who claims to take out a liter bike....but in your case it wasn't from a dig and at highway speeds the motorcycles although still potent the wind does hold them back especially a riders fear...but congrats if your car can do that I have nothing but respect for you...

PM me if anybody needs addresses or info. If you are running late(pulled over, traffic, or flat tire), you can call me. If you run out of gas, you are on your own though. I know the first leg is kind of short distance wise, but the trip into the city will help make up for it.
