A few forum members having fun!!!

Hey Guys,

The other night MikesAMG, Cahiil55k, and myself took a drive down to Mexico for a few friendly runs. All the runs on were done from 30-130+. Have fun and enjoy.

Nice vids. Looks like you have a quick car there bassn.

Ive got to ask, been wondering about it for a while, - what is the deal with Mexico? - Dont they have speed limits or something down there?

Your worst nightmare...
Great runs! But why no gas...Wouldn't that hurt performance on some cars if run too low? I know on our V12's that a big no no... I know you guys might have done it for weight savings

Alam- Your car is a beast man! What wheels are you running, tires, etc? Looks hawt!

We run in Mexico because it's illegal to race in California..., if you know what I mean .

Thanks Jody. Most of the time us E guys run with little gas in our cars without problems...knock on wood. Every time I hit the track I run my car as low as I can get away with. That night I had near a full tank because it was a last minute decision on the gathering. We might have the same gathering which will include 3 fast a$$ P-cars (one I hear goes from 60-130 in 5.xxx ), possibly a M5, and 4 modded 55's. There's no doubt that the Porsche will be cleaning house.

I have 19" comp C20's with Toyo 275 30 19.

I didn't manual shift during the run, only to drop into first gear before the race and then into 5th after the race. Alan's car is a freak that pulls like no other. Mike's car beat me on an earlier 50-130 run which was not recorded. I beat Mike on a 30-130 run. Mike had a passenger.

Hey Kou, your car is running very strong and I knew you and Mike would be a good run. Once Mike gets his TB installed he'll basically have my old setup which should haul some a$$. Have you thought about getting some mid-pipe work done and a custom tune? It seems that I might be able to get enough interest for PC to revisit the Bay Area. More then likely it will be held at EIP Racing here in San Jose.

We race in Mexico because there is nothing better than speed followed by an al pastor taco and a dos equis cerveza.

good stuff!

looks it was very safe place to run. No cars, only 2 lanes, and center divider.

This reminds me.. I need tires. After seeing those runs to 130+, my tires are very noisy and feel not stable..

A Prius because I'm green
My car had no gas because it was late and I had to drive over an hour to get there after driving around all day. There's no Chevron or Mobil station in Mexico

We need to do another run because I normally don't spin off the line and shoot in front of Alan by a car. My tire pressure was too high but it would be nice to show how his car picks up and will still fly right by me like it's nothing. Alan I'm coming for you! haha can't wait to get those other guys out there with the box to record our 60-130.

Why haven't you updated your signature? Didn't you run a 11.506 or something like that with PC's tune?

Tire pressure too high? I keep mine at 40 psi, what did you have yours at? It's safe to say we both spun about the same amount in first gear. I just spun less then before because I feathered into it a little easier instead of smashing the pedal like I do with drag slicks.... Street racing in Mexico is a whole lot different than the track.

Higher then what I normally have and it's been spinning easier lately. It never would you know that I haven't changed anything on the car.

Yea I did run an 11.5 at a high 123 I think I just haven't been on here with my time slips yet to update it.

Cooler weather could be the reason for tire slippage.
