Why don't we rent raceway park for a day. We did many years ago and it was a blast. BTW it would be a weekday, cause they are open sat & sun during day hrs. I've got six people already. (430, 360, porsche gt, porsche gt3, ford gt, all stock). So would be interested?
I have just one concern I hate quarter mile runs If we are going to make runs over the quarter mile then I'm in. I hate pulling off just cos you hot the quater mile These cars come alive in speeds well above the quarter mile.....150mph and faster is supercar territory and definatly where the M6 is in rare air Either way I'll come on down just to get it all on tape. I'll tell Avery about it.
I'm in even though you guys will dust me, lol. Formula... what was the guys name with the black e39 M5 from Jersey??? His cousin is putting together an all day event at Englishtown. BMW, Audi, Porsche. I'm sure they won't mind Vettes, Ferrari's and Lambo's coming.
Funny! I'm in for any event. Being married and having a newborn I need any excuse to get out the house. The reason I like the 1/4 mile is because I can tell if the modds have made a diff in the performance. I also loved the way my car drove on that Sunoco 100 gas. Your right formula about not hitting high speeds, but when your there its a fun time. You get to see cars smoking it up and dragging down the strip. I thought it would be boring until I went for the first time last summer.
^^ I didn't know you had a newborn, Congrats Avery! The trap speeds in the 1/4 is a good indicator of the power your car is making.
now we're talking just get that ruf gt2 registered and we'll see if you hang above 196 mph ha ha !!!!!
My ex turbo was VERY fast (493 rwhp and 515 rwtq on pump 93 k16 turbos maxed almost), 40-100 in 5 sec flat and a run of 60-130 in upper 8's low 9's (Enzo: 7.0 CGT: 7.3 F430: 9.5 F50: 9.6 993 RUF Turbo R: 8.7 993TT Stock: 13.4 993TT S:12.2) , has pulled every 750 bike i ran and a 600 isnt even comp even from 1st gear roll, AND just to think again my RUF GT2 is over 38mph faster in the same given straight as my turbo, with me still modding shortly Dont worry justin, your car still has over 500 hp and tq to pull out of it hah, the beauty of it all
LOL J you are funny, IF I HANG Car is meant to stay above 200, cant wait, it iwll pull there just as hard as it will from 100-180 LOL.. Got my reg in so im set
We can definately go to Etown one day, I would have no problems with that. However, I really am not a good dragracer It all comes down to the launch, and launching a manual Z is very hard. Too much power and you're up in smoke, and not enough and you bog. In either case Avery by my calculations you had ~500lbs of passengers in the car with you (counting cameras etc) and you were keeping up with me. So I'm sure if you had nobody in your car it would a totally different ball game. For a 4k+ lbs car it is FAST! I will PM you guys with my address. -N
^^ Me neither. Even though I have been going to Englishtown since I was a little kid, I have never been down the strip and I haven't launched the SMG drag style. I gotta work on that.
