I will be there even if tool is a no show, I am looking forward to it. For the purposes of what tool and I are doing I think the drag strip is the best.
I am going to do 100-200kph at some point, but it will just be data logged from my tec and not be very official. I an not realy interested in rigging up a camera. I also don't feel I have to much to prove because my HP is not that high, but I will do it so people will have an idea of what to expect from a similar set up.

Once they get the 60fts down I wouldn't be surprised to see them get deep into the 11s. I'm really curious what kind of 60fts they can run with this kind of power!
Mark my words. Neither car will trap at 130 or be in the low 11's.
Be safe guys. Post up the vids.
This should be fun!

This will be very interesting for sure... If not 125+ mph trap speeds I will be a very angry person... 130 mph should be possible for the tools numbers.

Yup-- the 60ft time is going to be laughable. . .
Should be lots of fun!!

Please Tool understand that it's more of a concern than really the pride of letting us down. Don't feel pressure of even threaten by us in any way. In case you fail to appear just watch yourself please.

so you won't end up too behind.From a roll a nicely modded modded Turbo like the ones we are taling about would walk my GT3 pretty easily. It has a couple hundred more hp and is a couple hundred pounds lighter.
What are modded 944 Turbos running in the 1/4 anyways?
