2011 GT results

[Mike@PowerHouse]

Congrats on the on the car.

I was parked in the TS lot and didn't see an '11. Were you the one that asked me if I had a PH turbo?

Probably, you had the silver car?

James, He was parked a few cas over from mine. Mike, It was nice to meet you. I was the one who asked you if you owned Powerhouse or were an employee. You put down some good times. I'm impressed with the car.

 

[Mike@PowerHouse]

Mike is was great to see the car run. I can over look the front and rear for that kind of performance out of the box. I may have to buy one by years end.

I'll have a nice, low mileage, black one for sale in the fall!!!

It was great to meet everyone...

seeing all this 2011 results, this car is surely a beast. 500fwhp with bolt ons will be no problem.

Mike - what color is the car? I probably have some video of it from Saturday's true street. My buddy in a turbo Fox GT was running in that group.


oh.. see the pic now... black.. will look tonight at the raw vids

I was wondering if you happen to get any video of my runs in True Street. I was the last car to run each time. I would like to see what the car is doing when I'm launching. If not oh well.

Yep, silver with black hood.

Wow.. that's strange.. I was told autos were faster...

They are. If you know how to drive...

Too early to tell. The car is completely new with no break in. Things are tight. Be "easy" on the car (following the manual) for a few thousand miles then start racing it and it'll be a different story. It does not surprise me the gears are whining now after being beat on so hard so soon. They weren't ready for that yet. Not only that, I'd expect a little faster times once everything has "loosened up." MPG should also increase as well. I know mine did after I put a few thousand miles on it. Brand new it was horrible and I drove it like a grand ma 95% of the time.

If the gears werent ready to be beat on when he got it, they werent gonna be ready to be beat on at 4000 miles either, wouldn't have made a difference.

Wrong. There's a thing called break in period. It's in your manual. Go read it.

You don't know how metal works do you?

Running the ENGINE hard on break in to get a good seat on the rings, but the tranny is a different beast, and all those parts inside have to get comfortable and run through some heat cycles they stretch, expand, contract, wear-in etc...

synchros, bearing, bushings, spacers, shims, springs etc... you think these parts don't need some wearing in?

Kind of a weather permitting thing, i may head out again this weekend, but I have a few guys coming in for tunes on saturday so it is really had to say.

 

[TungstenGT06]

Thanks Stkjock! That was my second pass. The car was really hot by then.

Meh, you guys are probably right, I havent ever had to break in a trans, just a couple built motors and I just know I have run the motors hard, figured a trans would be similar practice.

All I know is I cannot wait for some asshole with a 2011 to think he can take me...

 

[Twinscrewgt]

It will be even better when he does lol

 

[2005mach1]

It was great to meet everyone...

It was a joy to watch you ran the new car - unreal numbers

I worked 2 years to get my 05 auto those times

Yea right, only because he wouldn't hook.
