Default Congrats to Evolution Motorsports: First 9 Second 996TT!

My cell phone's been exploding with text messages tonight because Todd and his crew at EVOMS just broke into the 9s in the 1/4mile. The record was not only broken but it was pretty much shattered with a 9.67@149mph time. In fact it's time for a Parachute guys because 150mph was breached on a different run.

Good stuff boys!

Ahhh, nothing against Markski's acheivements (Which are phenomenal in their own right) but Evo has been "pushing the envelope and paving the way" (with Porsches) much longer than Markski.
Here is the vid of the fully registered and insured street driven 3.6 996 TT:

Thumbs up

Outstanding! Congratulations!!

Quick question... looking at the video... I see the start was slower than the truck next to it... seems reaction time suffered. Am I looking at this wrong?? I guess what I am saying is that they could have gotten even better numbers with a faster reaction time .

Wachuko, actually whatever happens in the other lane doesn't affect the EVO car. The clock starts when you move regardless of your reaction time. I have always found myself letting the other car go when focusing on a quick time...
