Default Going in the Right direction! - Green Bay Twin Turbo time slip update.




Just wanted to give everyone an end of season update. The white slip is from earlier in the year, actually from this video!
And the yellow slip was a few months later, but the track was only running 1/8 mile for safety reasons that night.

Hoping for a legitimate 9 second time slip next year.

0-60 in 3 seconds.
0-100 in 5 seconds.
0-160 in 10 seconds.

I can't even imagine what that must be like, but it must be pretty cool...

Unreal. And does not sound like it's coming apart at the seams. Very 928-like manners!

The speedometer wind-up is unreal! That must be quite a rush.

It's how I always imagined an aircraft carrier launch to feel like, and my time spent in the passenger seat were not even "full" launches like in the video.

That thing sounds like it has a warp drive propulsion system.

Good luck with the nine second attempt, it'll be awesome if you'll take the 928 there. Although for a car like the 928, the trap speed is probably a more relevant measure of performance, these weren't built to be launched off the line. Your 150 mph trap speed indicates some serious power in the engine.

Hi Todd.

That's pretty amazing. Time to put studded tires on and take that thing on the ice!

Brackets? Poor sot next lane over must've been hoping his hookup was as good as could be.

I like the dyno run vid too--


Still DD/street driven?

Yes, it's Todd's daily driver, the suspension is 100% stock.

A few weeks before the 1/8 mile video was taken, Todd and I took his car to Road America for the PCA weekend. The trip down was just like riding in any other 928, actually quieter than stock.
