i will take some video so you all can get an idea of exactly what a well tuned, stripped out boxster w/ a 3.4L can do when i REALLY get into the go pedal....

Thanks for your thoughts......yes of course scavenge velocity is king! Can't wait to see the video. I have just had my butt kicked by 996 4/996 T

I have the same wheels from Porsche but they were three piece...BBS is actually the manufacturer. In my view it will be tough to find anything much better in 18"

My wheels are the Porsche version (sport classic II). I will try to deliver some payback to the 996 TT's; 1 or 2 going w/ us next week.....I think they will find it hard to keep up.

the deluboz prototypes (brand new) are for sale. gorgeous parts.

I installed cat delete pipes with an all stock exhaust system. My secondaries we starting to break down, but i definitely do not feel a power loss. I believe they are downstam enough where back pressure is more trivial

here's some video from the track last week. i played w/ the GoPro a lot & have some great footage, but i'm still stringing it all together. this clip is a full lap at talladega gran prix with some footage reeling in & passing a TT.

this track is a bit small for the TT to really stretch its legs; it's weight penalty hits it hard here. that means this is a good opportunity for me to eat his lunch.

here's the TT vid:

i'll post more later; i got a GREAT clip of a C5 Z06 coming out of a pretty quick corner with the camera facing backward.

Heeeheeeeee! Nice work! Looks exactly like the guy who blew by me too!

Whats the red band/lanyard on your arm we don't have to wear those up here??

That was beautiful, insite. It's no surprise you can drive that smoothly after reading all your posts. Thanks again.

thanks for the kind words, guys.

jaykay -

the bands are arm restraints. some tracks require them if you want to run with the top down. they connect to the shoulder harnesses at the harness cam, so un-doing the harnesses also releases the arm restraints.

they always looked like they'd interfere w/ driving, but they really don't.
