Had a blast last night, I met up with bunch of enthusiasts, great guys. Josh was able to get a stock 997TT for us to run, thanks Brotha!! The owner was a hell of a cool cat as well.

Here's two of the runs with the stock 997TT. There's more vids to come from other cars. The other pulls I had with the TT were bad starts, etc.

The car is flat out flying, Enjoy!!

Thank guys, Nate, J appreciate the props Brotha's.

Mike did good he got the 997TT in one run, then the TT got him in another, the 335I's really impressed us last night, they did well too. Thomas' Stage 4 TT was def the fastest car there, only got one decent run, but I was peeling out in 2nd against him, :( and he was gone, then he had issues, limp mode and we couldn't get any clean runs. Last time we ran I stayed with him 2-3rd, then in 4th he just walked.

J, there's more vids coming, lot's of them. Fun night, we missed you man!:)

Lol crazy night man. I had an awesome time.

Im really starting to get annoyed with the saftey features of the v2. It keeps cutting off boost after back to back runs.

So after the 4th back to back run with mike he would own me by liek 2 CLs up top.

Even the v1 335i was taking me. It sucked. Hahahha

Drew thats insane man. Really surprised how hard you were pulling, the 997tt looks freaking slow! Are you sure your not squeezing now lol. Really impressed man.

Was he in the sport mode with turbo overboost?

He was going all out for sure!

Thx for the props Brotha, we still need to setup that run with you and the TT vette, right now my money's on you. :4ngie:

Here's some vids from Walked U's car, V2 335I a damn fast car, we were very impresed with how the 335I' did last night. Mike (Mspired) was spinning tires badly in 2nd so don't hold that against him. :)

Thanks alot drew. I had alot of fun.

I tried to get a video if you and the 997tt but you gusy took off so damn fast. Hahahah

I like 2nd gear alot since thats where the 430 wtq comes in, after that its just crap.

I need bigger turbos. Im stuck at liek 420 rwhp and 430ish wtq

From 55 its hard for me since I go from 3500 rpms in 3rd. Spool take too long.

I cant believe how fast your getting.

From a 2nd to liek 140 your taking me by like 3-4 CL's. its insane.

Are you running 50/50 mix with that Snow kit? How much more power did you make compared to not running it? Are you running the Safe-Injection modules in conjunction with the kit as well?

We did not use the WI in VF's own dyno's, they preferred not too, which makes sense to me as it's not part of their kit, but they are not opposed to enthusiasts adding it if they so choose to. In my own tests however I saw a 15WHP gain. If there was a specific file with timing advance set in, then I would recommend safe mode, otherwise it's not needed, as it seems the S54 is superfast at adapting +/- timing.

The car is an 07 C6 Z06 with a fully built motor by one of the top LSX engine builders on the East Coast, the twin turbo fabrication is completely custom, in fact some of the top LSX vendors in the industry have their hand on this built. It's one of the most anticipated project cars on Corvette Forum, and could easily rival Norm's beast at similar psi level - http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=93453&d=1176870509

After several months the car is now at the tail end of it's performance built and should back home in So Cal soon. The owner is a personal friend and on a mission to build the best of the best, he's already dropped $60K within 6 months of ownership!

My TT Vette will feel like a Civic compared to his!! :banghead:
On pump gas -
751rwhp/845rwtq @ 14psi
768rwhp/877rwtq @ 15psi

My 2bar Speed Density setup is limited at 15psi, I look to run a 3bar and upgrade the stock fuel system if my car doesn't sell. The motor is built to withstand 23psi.

From what I've seen personally, my monies on Vik, but regardless it would be a fun run to watch. The TT Vette is on stock internals.
That Vette owner must be very confident of himself to run an exceptionally built turbo M3 on stock internals, I want to see this match!

Im confused.

Your car is in your possesion and it makes 768rwhp/877rwtq right now? Thats some great power.

Whos car is the C6 Z06 with a TT setup? Its still being built and then coming to Socal?

I definitely cant hang with the crazy 1000rwhp+ (vette's, vipers) setups out there. One day soon i hope to make 1000rwhp.

Well let me explain....

I'm the owner of the C6ZTT Brabus is talking about. I'm Mark. I've heard nothing but awesome kill stories from Will (996), Craig (use to own a 996) and of course my buddy Richard (brabus2). I've seen the you tube videos and I'm impressed with what you have done to your car. Its a mean ride no doubt. :thumbsup:

The car with the figures above is Richards car. His car is here right now. My car is in Michigan. I sent my car there cause no one here (in my opinion) could do the work I wanted done. It was at Wheel 2 Wheel and now its in the hands of a ex engineer for GM and is known on the corvette forum to be one if not the best tuner for late Model Corvettes.

Now I'm don't think my car will make 1000/1000 but I'll definately be knocking on the doors and be somewhat close. Now I don't know how this buzz began about our cars meeting up but hey it would make some nasty TV don't you think? lol.

I'd love to go out to the meet with Will and friends to meet you and your crew. This is not a call out but if come a day we want to put these cars up against each other I'd be more than happy to do it. Your car has been labeled one of the top cars and I'd be more than happy to be associated with that.

Again this is not a call out. I'm not hunting you down. I'm not out to talk smack. I'm here cause you have one of the fastest cars here in the area and I just want to be apart of that. Thanks for reading

Wow man thanks for the props!

And thanks for joining, I would love to see that setup you are creating and good luck with it!

We would definitely love to meet up and have a good car meet, were all about having fun with cars. Hopefully when your car is done, i can get some more power so it can be fair. Brabus's car sounds pretty awesome too, thats a butt load of TQ. I would love to see that as well.

TaZa, I would more than gladly trade some of my TQ for your HP! LOL I've enjoyed watching the videos of your car on Youtube, particularly the "slingshot" footage...that's some insane work laying rubber on the 101! :thumbsup: I've also seen some of the magazine coverage of your car and have admired your passion behind the built, damn impressive!

Hope to eventually meetup with you at a local GTG and talk more about cars; we have a monthly Corvette gathering in the Porter Ranch area, it's casual amongst friends.....and if you ever have any interest, feel free to stop by and hang out with us. :)

Will is a good friend of mine as well, although I haven't talked to him since his F1 Motorsport days.

I agree, its great to see some good Vette guys, usually we all clash with different car makes (especially American Vs. Euro) but i think thats just stupid.

Keep us all posted and i look forward to it!

Thanks man, those were the early days with some small leaks and street tires. I can now put patches down at 100 mph with drag radials. Ill take some of your TQ for sure lol. Twin turbo definitely is much more efficient making TQ then a big single. Your car must feel wicked.
