dropping the hammer at 4500 rpm doc! beech bend is a major badass track. they had so much prep down the first run i had dropped tire pressure to 30 psi and the r888 tire hooked SO HARD i actually stalled the car! the forward motion with the key on restarted the car and it lurched forward again. a whopping 2.9 60 ft time!
last run with grip i had a better launch airing the tires up to 33 psi but car went into limp mode down the track. i think i hit a torque limiter.
its a work in progress but man its tough!
stage 2.5 sachs clutch les. good for 700 hp. the 997 have a completely different setup with variable turbos and launch easier. the pdk 997 turbos are in another class again and can run 10.7 with street tires bone stock! slipping the clutch off the line makes for a slow 60 ft. need the boost up and launch it hard to get the needed 1.8 and better 60 ft times
