The video clips are from the old, 125 hp engine. Chasing the silver 993 (I think it was an S, but not a turbo), I definitely had the pedal sandwiched to the floor. With the new engine, I think the results would be different. His car is a lot heavier than mine.
Pretty soon I'll put up new video from this last event. The car has a whole different sound and feel to it, now. The suspension and the engine make an incredible difference.

You're right, Steve Alarcon (at Suspension Specialties) got the swaybars dialed in right on the first try. It's handling is awesome. No tire lifts this time out!
Those are 8-inchers with the 911 offset (from an 86 turbo, I think) in the back, under SC flares, with 245s on them. They were just polished and painted by Al Reed in Anaheim. In front, I have my old set of 6-inch wheels with 205s. I want to go wider there, and I have a set of 7-inch wheels that Al Reed also did. But the 225 tires I put on them will not fit in my wheel wells. Every car is unique, I guess. Next I'm going to either try 215s or 205s on the 7-inch wheels. It'll fill up the fender better, and make for more stable sidewalls on the tires.
