What a great picture!
That Viper was gorgeous! I raced him twice, back to back and beat him both times.
Honestly, I think he was a tick quicker, but he was having some traction problems.

He has an EVOMSIT tune and exhaust. The car ran a 10.7x at 127.xx mph on 20's. It was a tip car so didn't have to bang gears. I was in the blue TT and could only manage an 11.8 at 123mph with more mods. My car is a 6spd and would either spin, bog or the clutch wouldn't engage. Never made a clean pass but the tip made several clean runs and all sub 11's.

The white 997TT is a beast, what kind of wheels are those, RUF mags? What are the specs on the Blue 997TT?
Clay, Ahmad, Charlie and bros...fingers crossed for better weather in Early Dec rental...if there is one. Consider me in, fingers crossed.

Thanks bro! No luck at all the 55's run good. Of course as you can tell I did miss 2nd on that run but that's part of it. Ahmad got to take a piece out of me as well with his CLK. It's funny, I love driving my TT but after taking it to the strip I miss my E55. The TT gave me trouble all day trying to get it out of the hole and down the track. I spun, bogged, and had the clutch not engage in the 4 passes I made. I remember with the E that it just hooked and went. It was by far my favorite car that I've ever owned and I've had a few. In a straight line run, you don't have to worry about much staying out in front or coming around you.
Did any of you guys get my 11.3 run in the old Mustang convertible? That was mine as well. I know its an old ride and not many of those guys are into that but I was hoping someone had a vid of it. If you do, let me know by Pm if you will.
You MB guys were great! Thanks for letting me hang out with my P car and Mustang. You guys are great!

Thanks Guys! That car was off a bit as well. I just installed a new fuel pump and didn't adjust it properly so the car was laying down midway through. That car will normally run high 11's on motor and runs low to mid 10's on a small shot. It's a fun car and can be driven wherever you want.

Do most of you run the rear toe links?
I am going to the local 1/8 mile tomorrow, and I'll tell you: Since doing the stage two and getting a tune, it is very difficult to go full throttle. The *** end is all over the place, even with TC on. When I turn it off, its undrivable, or smoky, or both.
I am also going to be trying my new DR's. I am just curious if I can keep it stright at full throttle. I know that may seem insane, but from stock to where it is scares me. Even at 40 or 50, full throttle is not matter of going straight, its a matter on making many quick turns to stay on the road.. Is this toe links, or just an abundance of torqe that I have yet to tame?
