The local track runs a "mix and match" night, where I can do laps around a road course on the front track and drag event on the rear track. Naturally I did both. Here was the result. Oh, and gaze at the MAGNIFICENCE of my reaction time.







And, yes that is painter's tape on the wheel wells and hips. I have to wash the whole car today. Saves on stone chips!

Beautiful car. The TTS is epic, and so much fun to drive!

Great looking car !
135.99 mph ??? What are the mods ?

Impressive time. Can't wait to drive mine.

Unconscionable

Yes, please share mods! 136 is awesome.

I have absolutely no mods. The car is dead stock right down to the tire pressures, and I had a tank full of 91 octane fuel from Canadian Tire in it. I didn't pull out any of the frunk toolkits or even the oil can in the Porsche bag in there. So stock car, stock weight, epic reaction time... lol

You have a Freak engine in there !
Go back on 94 oct in the cool air that's coming and do all the little tricks to save weights and adjust tire pressure....we want to see more of your optimized results...go get the stock record !
I did 10.58 @ 129.4 on my first try, all stock, with an unbelievable 60ft of 1.49 sec, so there's room in there for you to improve ! Good Luck

What tire pressures do you use? And did you break your car in according to manual or on your own. Proper break-in can make the difference as well.

I am the second owner of the car. Judging by the state of the tires when I bought it, I'd say the original owner liked to use the throttle and handling of the car just as much as I do. I've driven the car hard and taken it on several track days this summer. I'm a firm believer that any engine should be broken in hard when it's new but if that can't be done, it should be driven with spirit regularly, if you want it to make power.

Just my opinion. Anecdotal evidence seems to agree.

Incidentally, I never use anything near full power until the coolant temp is fully warm and the oil temp is at least 80C. Warmed engines are reliable engines.
