my post was a complete joke. No offense intended Chuck Norris is awesome though and much more awesome than an M6.
expect a call once the weather warms up Your new car is already being modded? Wow..not fast enough ...ha ha this should be fun can't wait to set the camera mount in your car and film from mine Its gonna be good looking forward to this Congrats once again on the new ride which I know from experience is devastatingly fast Congrats
Yah right, next thing you'll be telling me the moon landing was REAL. Puh-leeze. What's next? Hillary running for prez? pffffffft!!!!!
I too thought the same thing at first, I thought he was on a dyno. But after watching it the second time you can actually see trees and stuff outside the windshield, and you can distinctly hear the noise inside the car getting louder. I know the person who made this doesn't want to anyone to know where they are but you have to make it a little more believable. Very cool though . How long does it take to go 196-0?
I made the video I deliberatley zoomed in on the speedometer to keep the location private I could have included an outside shot but then you can't really see the speedometer clearly As far as 196-0 is concerned I just let the car slow down by itself to 140 mph and only then apply the breaks on the circuit I used as there is such a long run off section Glad you liked the video
I know it was a joke. Chuck Norris would easily be able to beat 200mph out of the car Got any more meets planned parikh?
yea man, its already a RUF 590 (heavily underrated) which should run 10's low 11's , the thing is flat out INSANE, but i want to add a few more things to make it complete. Again keep me in mind next time

I would not underate it at all if this is anything to go by The RUF 590 hp kit consists of converted turbo chargers, control unit, Ruf intake manifold, sport air filter, Ruf exhaust system, Ruf exhaust manifold, reinforced clutch, titanium conrods,. The upgrade requires the dismantle and assembly of the complete engine.Torque is astonishingly flat from 3,000 rpm to 5,000 rpm. I saw photos here http://www.rs6.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=2777 I got that info from the Ruf Website This is a monster of a car. Congats...can't wait I'll be calling you soon...just to see it Congrats
WOW wtf, why did my pc mess up and post 3 times before?! Anyway yea, well the power they claim is the minimum and usually a great deal more and t shows too lol, 221+ top speed as well! Let me know and thanks!
221+.....my gosh Whats the fastest you've ever been and how fast do you plan to take this monster up to We could shoot a 200mph+ video ...............
I havent driven it all out very much, but when i took my friend for a ride we did a blast down the service road here in Huntington/Dix Hills, you can imagine its not very long and we managed 172 with ease Its 40-42 mph faster than my turbo was on the same given straight!
You have definetly been bitten by the speed bug Once the weather warms up we'll get to shooting This video is going to be good once I'm done editing it. 172 with ease.........thats up there...Imagine shooting you at speed from the M6 for the exterior shot and the mount inside your car pointed at th e dash for the interior shot and then doing a video overlay...its gonna be amazing
Was that this past Saturday morning? I was in my Porsche and a Grey 996TT pulled up next to me on the service road. My car was still cold, and my wife was sitting next to me asking me not to. The TT shot out and kept going. This was between 50 and 51 on the LIE service Road.
Interesting, wasnt me though! I did this about 2 weeks ago, same spot as you mentioned though lol, i wonder who's Grey TT that was though, havent seen any around ever!
What would you have done in warm weather with a warm car and of course....minus the wife........ just curious
Ahhh...your looking to make a new video? Getting tired of all those M6 vids? I'm only joking. I like your videos. Brings new life to this board. What would I have done? He was rolling next to me, so it was a rolling start. By the sound of his car it was stock. Which puts the race a little closer. Mine is a 997S with Fab speed (headers cold air intake mufflers etc). I'm pushing about 390 Vs. his 415. I think if all is equal he would win. If I drive better then him, I will win. I could tell you one thing, when he pulled away from me, he gave it all he had, and he wasn't gone in a flash, and my car sounds much (MUCH) better then a stock 996TT. I've driven many 996TT and they are fast. A stock one will beat me but not blow me away. A 997TT is a different story! I'm actually waiting for the 997TT Cab to come out this summer to get one.
997TT cab....winters fading already How many 996TT are still stock. I had a run in with someone who swore that his 996TT was stock only for me to see him race a haevily modified 996GT2 to a standstill. Then he admitted that his car was major league modified. I give up...................if a cars modified why don'tg people just admit it..........seems almost like getting cosmetic surgery and then vehemently denying it. have fun with the neww 997TT cab in summer !!!
Not loud and gone in a flash, definitely wasnt me haha jk! As i mentioned, my 493rwhp and 515 rwtq 996TT was damn fast, beat a few bikes and ran Jidex's M6 as well My GT2 ran on the service road 172 with a passenger, and was about 40mph faster than my turbo in that given situation! I would never even think of going that fast especially on such a road or in that distance, but it got up there so dman fast with my eyes peeled on the road, that i didnt realize it or even think for one second! Very stupid looking back at it!
Thats fast. 493 HP in a car that light....wow. That strectch of the road is good for 100-110. The next exit comes too fast. Recently there have been cops on the service rd by the Fire House. Gotta be careful. At 172, they will beat you, throw you in jail, impound the car and least of your problems, the license is gone. You live in that area?
Yes that was really fast Remeber this though...my car was not fully broken in then and had not yet been delimited Its a completly different vehicle now...plus I've finally had some time to learn how to drive it properly...gearing, rpm and all that Hope to see you soon I ran a Yamaha r1 to 190mph.......the ownwer is my friend and comes to Captree most weekends ...ll you the story and the shocked look on his face being passed hard at 185mph ........I slowed down once I realised that I was pushing 190ish. ...Me and The R1 rider and now good friends and I've driven with his whole crew ... See you soon..
No, 493 hp to the wheels, with the formula its a bit under 600 hp! Yes i am in the area and know the roads and when to do it, i work for DA's office and brother is a fire fighter so im not worried, but believe me this does not give me ANY RIGHT to do so, and i know it. Thing is i didnt go out on a mission to hit a top speed or speed, it was just an in the moment thing just like any of you would, and the fact the car was capable of doing this speed where others would be significantly lower :/ Dangerous and foolish, never again!
Well glad to hear, but power to weight is a science, not speculation Anyway the new owner lives in queens, im sure he would love to come out with us and run, so whenever let me know
yadda yadda yadda Doing 190 is beyond stupidity..... for one thing, one error and youre dead, worse case you'll be a vegetable for the rest of your life. If you get caught, consider your life ruined for the next 10yrs. Car inpounded, no license for yrs, tens of thousand dollars in legal fees....if the car is leased of financed odds are it's going to go back to the bank and a repo on your credit history. Don't get me wrong, Im nuts on the road as well and I have vids as well, but doing 190 proves nothing................. -Ed
