As for favorites? A few GTR's stand out as do a few Lambo's. Gonna keep my opinion to myself though. Peter

Max speeds will be 185ish. Likely 100-120 going into the banking. The first run down the straight your butt might pucker on the bank. But when you realize that you have to go 110 or so for the car to go straight and not go down the banking (22 degree bank is serious) you'll quickly relax after that first run. Peter

Deal, so you'll trade me your cars for my 2013 white SL. What do you have? Tundra? SL? GTR as well? I would give up the white SL for those three... Peter

Luxury Car Theft Ring Broken Three Westchester Men Arrested Drag Racer Eddie Bello Among Them Mercedes, Porsches, Lexuses (WCBS) (NEW YORK) Mar 26, 2001 6:19 pm There won't be any more laps around the track for a well-known drag racer from the Bronx, who was among three body shop owners arrested in connection with the theft of luxury cars from Westchester, WCBS 880's Marla Diamond reports. Eddie Bello, 35, who has won fame with souped-up Porsches on the import drag-racing circuit, was arraigned Saturday in Mount Vernon on a charge of illegal possession of a vehicle identification number, District Attorney Jeanine Pirro said. Bello, known as the East Coast Assassin in drag racing circles, owns Bellotech Performance on McQuesten Parkway in Mount Vernon, where he works on his racer and other cars. The owners of two neighboring shops also were charged with the same felony: Robert Benedettini, 42, of Yonkers, owner of Star Auto Body, and Anton Shkreli, 33, of the Bronx, owner of Evropa Motors. Pirro said investigators at Bello's shop seized two Porsche engines and two Porsche transmissions, all with defaced identification numbers. At Evropa, they took two Porsches with defaced identification numbers, plus a Mecedes Benz engine and five air bags, similarly defaced, she said. They also found an illegal 9 mm handgun, the district attorney said. And at Star Auto Body, they seized a partially dismantled and defaced Lexus sports utility vehicle and a small amount of the drug Ecstasy, she said. Pirro said the arrests stemmed from the investigation of a stolen-car ring that had specialized in swiping luxury vehicles from Westchester driveways and parking lots and shipping them to Asia. Eight men were arrested last month. Illegal possession of a vehicle identification number is punishable by up to four years in prison. More charges could be filed, says Pirro, if the men were shipping auto parts internationally. Last year, Today's NHRA magazine, which covers the National Hot Rod Association, said Bello, driving a white Porsche 911, had reached 161 mph while covering a quarter-mile in 9.17 seconds.

Sounds good when will you be in Houston?

...engine...in car...can't wait to get her.

Fixed just in case Fadi reads this. Peter

I'm pretty lucky too....on my street we have a 458 with exhaust, R8 V10 with exhaust, few big block old school cars, Maserati QP with exhaust, another R8 V10, a built 997TT, an LP560 and a UGR TT Performante. Soooooo all really cool people. Peter

The race heads are part of the "R" package but many of us stage 3 guys run them because you can make 100-150 more whp on 93 octane pump gas (around 1150 whp). Not only that, you get more area under the curve across the whole rpm range, better spool, more responsive, etc...

LOL Dustin, you crack me up man....my wife would be LONG asleep and come morning start worrying. Peter

Hahahahaha oh shit! That is funny Dustin....and for the record, Kevin is my bitch and I will require that he now refer to me as "The General"!!!!! Hahahaha. Peter

And the engine coming together nicely...I can't wait to get her home.

CONGRATS! That is one of my dream cars...I'm curious as to your impressions of this car compared to the TTG's you've had. I don't mean fit/finish/quality, I mean how do they stack up if you were to line them up at 60 mph and run them to 180+.........I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to line my stage 3 up with that car, if only I were closer to you. Peter

UGR race heads:
