AWESOME race with a highly-modded 911TT
WOW!! I lost, but barely... I'll get to it. I talked to the guy and he has the following mods:
911TT X50
Upgraded Turbos (he said GT2...??)
Upgraded manifolds
Exhaust
Intake
ECU
605hp kit from some tuner
BIG brakes, wheels, wing... name it!
Anyways, here's how it went. We were toying around on the 101 and he got off on Valley Circle... its a pretty wide (sometimes curvy) road. He gunned it off the ramp, but there was traffic so we were quite tame. I saw an opening and passed him and punched it in 2nd from about 35mph. He punched it to... I was about 2 cars ahead. It was even in 2nd and most of 3rd. By the time the end of 4th came, he was just behind me... near my rear bumper and in 5th he came to my door. The road started curving, so I let off... I was at least 130+ mph.
We chatted and he was quite amazed! I suppose from a rolling 2nd gear start, he would take me by 3-4 cars to 150mph... which is not bad considering what my car is setup for.
Time for more boost... I think I'll be dead-even with 8psi

You have a bad ass ride there, no doubt but I have a few question.
If he has a 911TT he should trap 111-113 stock. If he upgraded his turbos and all the rest of that stuff he should be trapping mid 120's. (Although not sure why he'd put GT2 turbos on, it's a slower car)
Who knows, nice run!

I was very surprised when he mentioned his list of mods... I think with these kind of temps, I could quite easily trap 118-120mph. I think he is trapping 122-125mph, not higher. If you look at the supercar challenge on CarAndDriver, a 800hp/850ft-lbs torque Ligenfelter TT Corvette traps 136, and its lighter than the a 911TT... so a 605hp 911TT is going to trap anywhere from 122-125mph.
A 640hp/770ft-lbs torque RENNtech SL600 traps 121... also weighs 4389lbs!

When I get the CLS55 in Feb/March, I plan on doing pulley/ECU/Headers/LSD/maybe exhaust so I'll see what that thing will do.

You probably meant 2.187?!?

Stock he traps 116ish, so with those mods I'd expect 125 or higher.

Is that 419hp SAE net or gross, and was it a roller dyno or one of those lame axle dynos? What type of torque #s are you making? What are your 60' times - thing sounds like it'd be a beast to launch.
If that 911TT is trapping in the 120+ range, he should be pulling deep into the 11's.....and if you're hanging w/ him I'd assume your 12.xx means very low 12's and that your 11X. mph is 119. I'm not trying to flame - I'm just trying to put all of this together......I mean it's not everyday you see/hear of a CLS taking out a 911TT.
Any videos of the dyno pull or the low 12 run?
Why are you still going by allmotor....isn't that an oxymoron?

He hasn't taken the current setup to the track.
Based upon the weight of the car and his hp numbers he should be in the 11's if he can hook up. Reving it up to about 5500 and then drop the clutch while in 2nd gear might prove to give adequate traction and avoid having to shift one more time... right allmotor?
I suspect that due to traction issues, his car is capable of a 12.2 pass at over 116 mph.

I believe the dyno #'s are raw values, although I could be wrong. It was on a 'lame' axle dyno A friend dyno'd his G35C on that dyno as well as a dynoject and the 'lame' axle dyno showed 11whp more, so I am quite happy with the way that particular 'lame' axle dyno has been calibrated for not having the front wheels on a roller.
Torque was 360.x ft-lbs
This is my 2nd race with a 911TT... the first one (I assume) was a stock one with the X50 package which I pulled on slightly in 4th gear. This 911TT was obviously much quicker. I have also raced a 360 Modena which I destroyed and an E55 AMG which was pretty much an even race. Note that all these are on 91-octane with my timing retarded about 5 degrees at 6psi.
Dyno #'s can be 'lame' or whatever... I don't really care. The car is quick, that's all I need to know
