Porsches weren't made to be launched, but if you want too by all means go ahead. spin it about 4 grand get it moving a little then let it rip. Hell bolt some slicks to it and toss half-shafts, to each his own.

Great call Stephen. I think we had al better leave our cars in a garage for fear to the sky falling on them and killing us all.

"Eddie Bello, AKA, the "East Coast Assassin," is a fan favorite on the rapidly growing National Hot Rod Association’s Import Drag Racing Circuit (IDRC). His now legendary Porsche 911 was hailed as the "world’s quickest 911 in 1999," recording a 9.17 second, 162 mph quarter mile."

9.71 is quick. I thought there would have been a quicker one out there. I guess they are not made for dragging afterall...
