That Mike O time was made when he was on practically stock power and didn't know how to drive. Now he's on big power and doesn't know how to drive.

I have not been running open pipes here lately, back when t14 was on demora or whatever with jsc Mike would tell me he could hear it from inside near the window..I do dyno testing, sometimes for 1000hours non stop WOT on 500hp+ diesel engines, **** gets real son..

Hello all, I know many of you know me, but many do not. I just wanted to give all of you a heads up on a huge part out of mine because you all will get first dibs on everything since you are local! Just take a look at my for sale thread, let me know if any of you are interested in anything. Thanks!

Pete, message me your phone number again if you could. Would like to give you a quick shout!

none of you fool is gonna set track records for Enthusiast class as long as i show up. you fools do know that i ran 1:14.6 on street tires (XS 255) and stock turbo and massive boost leak (300 whp) last year right? and the car is setup with more power and better balance this year.

you need to get outta that sun, its messing with your head. No way are you gonna dip into the 11's, even on 315 A6's.

And what you said on the phone about beating PA on street tires is nothing short of hilarious.

Have fun playing in Enthusiast class, I'll be in Street class dominating ish. Come at meh!!

i ran 1:13 on 255 R6, stock turbo with boost leak (300 whp). the 285 A6 is worth about 2 seconds alone, not to mention the extra hp i have coming. but what do i know, you have been doing TT much longer than i have. so i'll just have to get out there and put my foot down and hope for the best. you wanna bet your pink slips that i'll beat PA in street class. cause if it's gonna get that serious, imma make sure i got it locked down.

like i said, this weekend is more about me concentrating on NASA TT than GTA. i was only going to do one 10 minutes session with GTA, the rest of the time is for NASA TT.

damn, so you've been TT"ing how long and you only went 1 second faster on 255 R6's compared to 255 XS's Something doesn't sound right to meh.

Don't start doing ricer math and saying X mods drops X amount of time... it don't work like that and you know it.

I think you would be better served running Street Class (and coming in 2nd behind me) instead of Enthusiast, but the way I read the rules, to run Enthusiast you would need to do the following:

Be on unleaded gas (B.2)
add a cat (B.3)
put your airbags back in (A.3)
make sure your wing is within the foot print of the OEM body (A.11)
make sure your canards aren't extending more than 3" (A.13)
put your back seats, carpet, headliner and all that stuff you removed when you had the dash out back in the car. (D.5)
get rid of the headlight duct (D.2)

All that to run some enthusiast class seems like a bit of a waste to me, but like you said, you've been doing this longer than I have, so...
