Vic, I'm gonna be out in Souther California with my car in January, do you want to do that 200mph run you mentioned? We might really have to go to Mexico for that one, becasue I'm not too familar with any streatch of road in SOCAL that would be clear of traffic for us to do this run...except maybe a few streatches of PCH at 3:00am
There are couple of good places where we can get a few cars together for some train runs too (good drivers only please
)

Yes, we have a place to do it in Mexico for sure. Just keep me UTD on your arrival times. PCH is ok but still not safe enough. Yesterday I got in 178mph on a slight upgrade but started late and ran out of room at my local Tiajuana freeway.

Train runs, as in drafting? Love it! 178 on a slight upgrade? Which car M6 or Porsche? When I was in Nevada Mexico I did 196 (gps verified) on a 20% grade at over 2000ft. BTW what is the top speed of your tt, I assume that is faster than your M6. I think mine tops out at 206, that is the fastest I have had her so far.
I did the 178 in the M6 on a very short uphill run ... as for top speed I dont think the TT will take the M6 since its a tip and the DT loss is huge with AWD and the slushbox. I did 189 in the M6 and only 183 in the TT... I feel the lack of parasitic loss and 7 speeds will help the M6 after 160 mph. We also have great roads here in Mexico, Cali
I really got the TT for 0-140 runs and stop light races where its lights out in tip format. But because it gets out front so quickly it could hold on up top but I dont think to 200 IMHO.

I dunno vic. never ran danny before. I thought a pulley without tune make your car slower.
sounds good to me. i was wondering when someone would ask that.
congrats vic, you are moving beyond the limits of ludicrous speed

I have an SL55 OEM pulley with no tune. There's no way that it would be slower than stock is there? It just doesnt make sense. Not to me anyways

ohh my mistake.. sorry danny did not know you had the sl55 pulley. just read a few other threads about some people adding a pulley and losing power without a tune. wasn't doubting your car. 
My car is stock down to the filters vic. I am down to meet whenevers, I hear that you have a hidden beer reservoir that you carry around. I have one of those also.
