Nice.

Which model 911 do you have? 11.2 @ 127 is not that shabby.
MT or PDK?

That 60' 1.8 seconds is respectable for street tires.

Thats an awesome run and time-nice work!!! Considering the base car runs mid 12s @ 114-117 mph that tune is putting in work!

I wonder if mine is that much farther behind with it being just a base with PDK

Not to bad for a 69 year old man.
I did a little drag racing but raced SCCA and a little IMSA

Hhahaha... same for all of us I think! I've definitely noticed my reflexes are not quite as sharp. Nice to see some numbers finally!

Wonder if a 130 mph trap is possible, or 10 in the 1/4.

Impressive tune!

Can't wait to see what my GTS can do!

This is more than likely what I'm going to do as my car is CPO and has two years left on the warranty.
APRs warranty only goes the length of the factory warranty and not CPO.

I believe it can be done on gts turbos with a good tune. What mods do you have on your gts and is it a manual or pdk @thesaintusa ?

Fsmich traps 130mph in his car with gts turbos and 91oct. I know he has Vektor headers and I think AMS intercoolers. Did it both on cobb with pro tune and apr tune. Just bolt ons, tune, on pump gas, and a car with gts turbos will trap 130.

Softronic tune.

Have it uploaded to the MyGenius waiting to install on the car.

Would like to get some baseline Dragy #s, and then want to upload the tune and repeat.

What tune are you running polobai?

Nice. That sounds like a good plan. I am running a Cobb protune and it’s been performing well. My mph in the 1/4 mile is lower than expected (120 mph) but next weekend I will be tearing it apart to check for boost leaks and fix them. Imo I should be around 123/124mph at least based on the power it made on the dyno (466whp or 107whp over stock)
