Default Can Special Tool Break 600 RWHP & 6000 Posts?

As we all know, we are awaiting for the self named "Super Tuner" ST to break the 600 RWHP by the end of the year. I talked to him yesterday, and according to him the car is running very, very fast. What the hell that means, God only knows. He says, and I quote, "it's like a circus act". That statement comes from a very articulate man too. Anyway, I think we should add to the year end goals the number of posts too. I think ST should break the RWHP mark, and should be able to break 6000 posts too by the end of the year. I think he can do it. It should be easy for him too, for he usually posts a one-liner post, and those can add up fast. What do you say ST, are you game for both? We are rooting here for you Mr Xylene!




Todd: I know you would get a kick out of this one pal!

I'm screwed. All my cars together plus my motorcycle probably don't make 1,300 h.p.

Not yet.

Let's see - 951 is probably 225-ish, 944 is probably 150-ish, other 944 is also about 150-ish, the 'benz - God only knows. . . maybe 200-ish? The bike is about 75 I think.

So I'm only about 500 h.p. short. Someone wanna' lend me a z06?

And the Carnage King Speaks! But you better get a car running for the Spring/Summer time when we all meet? I may get ST to come up there too. And bring all of that high-tech camera stuff of yours; you can be the offical Northeast Rennlist Photo Guru!

Yay, I've easily got my the 17.5 rwhp covered from my 175 posts (probably in 1st gear with no boost)

Actually now that my 3.2 Turbo is on the road I may even have it covered at idle

And not to go OT here, but I did remember asking you if you had some pics of that nice car? And dyno charts? We love stuff like that here. And I know ST would love it too. So please share if you have.

Cheers!




ST: Come on pal, step up to the plate and give everyone some updates? And for God sakes man, keep posting so you hit that post mark too!

Should have seen him.....HAPPIEST guy I ever messed with.
Afterwards, he kept saying, "dem is schweet"
Gave me thumbs up and peace sign at least a dozen times and wanted to know......"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT??????"

Pretty badass car, right up there with the zo6 and that modded AMG.
This car I needed 220 KMH to get around, if that tells you anything.
Also, you could tell about the torque, I was behind him in 4th and I could pull up to him easier in this lower gear (not THAT easy) than in 5th, he was fast in 5th (my 5th).
