And I am not offended at all. Apologies if I gave that impression.

No shot at me - I was looking at Corvettes when my wife said, "You need a back seat," two kids at home, and, well, here I am! 🤣

Are you talking about the 9.5 and 10 wheels that your car came with? Is there some reason you are stuck with 10" wheels? Is this your first time doing an HPDE day? If so, I would not worry about it much. Just go with whatever. I mean there are probably going to be people there driving...

I don't have a "laundry list." I have one use for it. One task. That's it. HPDE is (usually) 30 minute sessions. Show me a car that is forced induction (centrifugal, turbo, or positive displacement, I do not care which) that can complete 30 minute sessions on track, and I will be happy to...

Well, Steeda is selling the Cobra Jet intake with the Boschma adapter for the dual throttle bodies, and GSC camshafts. The R2 camshaft will allow you to keep the VCT, but you need a tuner who can work with after market cams. The R3 requires the VCT to be locked. Steeda also used 2" headers on...

It's just physics. You are pushing 12 psi into an engine that was originally 486 hp before you ever touched it. It has 12:1 compression. What is that going to be? 780 hp? 300 or more extra horsepower to cool. That is a lot of heat to somehow transfer to the coolant and then transfer it...

Fans are just in the way on a road race course, due to the speeds involved. In fact, the Dark Horse R GT4 cars, if you look at the allowed list of mods, they do not allow removal of the fan and shroud, but the teams can drill a bunch of large holes in the shroud to permit better airflow through...

Now if somebody could just figure out a way to keep these cars cool with boost running for 20-30 minutes at a time, I would have already added some sort of forced induction to mine. But, well, I don't want to never be able to do what I am doing in my avatar.

Looks like fun.

I don't think it's realistic to run 11s without modifying it, but if you are talking about modified and naturally aspirated, then there are multiple S650 cars running in the 9s.

BAP might be light for E85, but I'll let somebody respond who actually knows what they are talking about. If you want to hear from the ignorant, I would be looking at KPM 1500 or Fore or Lethal Performance Division X. But that's only if you want to take the advice of somebody who has no real...

And it isn't all that quiet on cold start. 🤣

Not replying with a direct response due to the site's "no political topics" rule, which would surely be violated by my response. I raised this issue only because it explained the cost and unavailability of the Dark Horse in Russia. As I said above, I had not considered Russia's invasion of...

Makes sense. I was not even thinking about that. Ford cannot even sell directly into Russia due to sanctions.

That is insane. Is that US dollars? That is almost 20 times an average annual wage in Russia. I mean, I know that a Dark Horse is sort of an expensive car even here in the US, but, wow, I am shocked that any Mustang Dark Horse exists in Russia at that kind of price. Why is the custom duty...

Did you get it tuned and go back to the track?

Car and Driver did 0-60 in 2.7 seconds and quarter mile in 10.8 at 128 mph. https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a64309244/2025-porsche-911-carrera-s-drive/

Referring to 131 mph in the quarter but only an e.t. of 11.9?

I am not surprised by the result of going up against a $200k S Porsche with a 3 second or better 0-60.
