With every generation, increased competition and improvements in technology the cars just keep getting faster, with no end in sight.
The 720S in stock for will run 9's in the quarter, that's bike speed! And I am sure next years iteration will be even faster...

This is so. My buddy has a 720 S and I watched him run 149 MPH in the 1/4 bone stock in Fall DA. That is ridiculous - bike MPH indeed. We are discussing the 992 Turbo cars in the 991 section right now - and apparently there are some significant weight gains - which depending on what Porsche does power wise to compensate - may make performance gains slim. That said - Porsche cannot make a next gen car the same performance levels - so they will likely through some HP/TQ at it. Either - way - it is a great time to be alive for a car enthusiast!

Absolutely! I just had a track alignment done to hopefully dial out the understeer, ordered CF seats, and ordered this exhaust for my car.

Exhaust should arrive towards the latter part of next week, seats are getting upholstered with a logo, and I can't wait to meet Mr. Viper and Vette at Mosport.
I think they are in for a big surprise!

World record broken - 1/8th ET, 1/8th MPH, 1/4 ET and 1/4 MPH from a bone stock Porsche Turbo S.




Most pleased.
