For HP-junkies, Juan and rest of the gang

Well mega-horsepower Porsche that a friend of mine was building (i indirectly helped him find some parts) is finally put together and had a oportunity to show it's colours on the strip. Result is rather measle 11.44 sec 1/4 mile time and 136 mph trap speed. Engine is turbo-converted 964 N/A 3.6 with all trick-parts you can find (GT2 cams, GT30BB turbos, custom managment etc.) and is dynoed to 700+ HP.

Car is built for the track but he opted to do few 1/4 drags as well. Unfortunately, he had host of problems...mostly with shattered axles. They are using 930 axles and CV's and have sheared three of them since...which makes me even more confident in my decision to choose bigger CV's than spinky SC ones for our project car. Unfortunately, gas-pedal got stuck in drag you see in the movie so he had to do full-throttle shifts from 3-rd and upwards.

I tought you guys might find it interesting.

Bonus flick:
