Man that's quick. Care to tell us just how your car does that sort of time??? Nice one.
Plus you bogged it down at the start. You had at least half a second improvement I would think. Awesome.

For those who dont know (KPG above has driven Mark's car!!),
Mark's motor was built and tuned by Todd and Cynthia Knighton of Protomotive in Arkansas.
They designed the power and delivery for Mark's "needs".
It has complete custom heads, Cams, fueling, intake, etc, etc.
It has (2) very large GT35r Garett water cooled turbos and Todd's custom made headers and
exhuast system. It has a redline beyond 8000 rpms and feels like you have been kicked in
the back above 6000 rpms. Notice with that terrible start (to avoid breaking his 3rd set of axles),
he achieved 119 mph at the 1/8 mile mark !!!!!!!!!!! HOLY S**t !! That thing does put some
SERIOUS power to the ground. Protomotive is in the process of building (2) more "one-off"
custom 996TT set-ups right now for two great guys on the east coast. I believe all three of them
are hoping for 9 second quarter miles, (Mark is obviously close...). This is quite an achievement in
a car that is very difficult to drag race.
