Drew just heard your car wasn't ready, that sucks.

What car did you run?

PG was in a VT535 6MT, not a DCT, and he got beat by the fastest "tuner" driven/owned 135I N54 in the world, that car trapped 123+ MPH, and ran an 11.2 at Famoso a decent track and the air was good at the time, but at ATCO in negative DA, it probably would have trapped 125+MPH.

I had a fantastic run with that M3...it was nice meeting you Robert! I think you got vid so please post it.

It was a photo finish at the end and we have no idea who won. As you would imagine, I pulled initially with the torque advantage (maybe by ~ 10 feet) but then the M3 started creeping slowly and by the end of the 1/2 mile, we were dead even. I'm a full weight 2010 e92 automatic with 19's wheels/tires. Engine mods are Procede with Stage 2 maps and PWM meth, DCI and downpipes.

Thanks man, I was really bummed, we all were. There is something wrong with the DCT, not sure exactly what the issue is yet, hopefully we will know soon.

I actually was fortunate enough to pilot the Arkym ESS VT650, and it was a blast, incredible car, had some great runs with a ZR1, Modded Z06's, FBO GTR's, 996tt A28's, 997TT FBO PDK. Will post those vids soon, have to collect all the runs as Gopro's were being passed around a little too much and we are trying to track down some of the vids, lol.

No trap speeds, this was purely side by side roll racing.

Cool stuff Drew, Sorry your car wasn't ready but glad you had a car to drive! Interested to hear your impressions of the VT650 compared to your 625?
For all interested there's a lot of interesting convo going on in the e90 side. Seems that Terry's single turbo N54 really lit up the track!!

GOLFFRR · 02-26-2012, 04:28 PM

sounds like a epic day! I can't wait to hear how the runs went and see how the various SC cars held up against everyone

Thanks man. The Arkym car is incredible, drove perfectly, I only hit the rev limiter once, but when it counted, lol. The car performed very well against some fast cars. Honestly it felt a tad slower than my VT625, probably due to the Meth and very low milage on the motor, but very close performance wise and they both dynoed similar #'s as well.

Terry's car did great, Terry always comes prepared and is great in these types of events, Shiv's single Turbo did awesome as well.
