  1. What ... I'm going to need a minute (or two) ... I honestly don't know what to say to that ....
  2. Thanks ... We're on it ...
  3. No worries .... Got it handled ....
  4. I confess ... I'm home this week ... Recovering, from having my Prostate removed, due to Prostate Cancer ... Which means I have waaaay too much time on my hands ...
  5. You are correct ... Kevin from UGR referred to Ross's car as a "Stage 3+" ... Perhaps this is why: "Huge thanks to Ross for for choosing Underground Racing to Twin Turbo his LP 570. This TT Gallardo is a Stage 3 with Race Heads and a fully built engine. This setup also made 1150 whp on 93 octane Pump Gas. Other options include Billet Helix final drive gears, Billet mid-plate, level 2 ceramic clutch, Corsa auto quick-shift and as always the JRR MoTeC ECU plug and play setup with boost by gear. We added the custom coated green CCB brakes and coated the wheels satin black. For safety we added our custom 4 point roll bar with safety harnesses and a full fire system." Given the billet components in the drive train, along with the level 2 clutch ... That likely indicates ... Unlike a "normal Stage 3", where UGR stops the power at 1250 whp ... I'm guessing Ross's car makes significantly more power than 1250 whp ... Which is what I believe is the reason for the 208 mph pass ... If you need more evidence ... At the Oct 2013 event where Peter's Stage 3 went 197 mph ... Mullet's R Version went 208.5 mph ... Conclusion ... Ross has a "very special" Stage 3 ...
  6. Peter's car was a 570 (lighter than the 560), with e-gear, and UGR Quick Shift ... The elevation at Houston is about 40 ft (I think) ... So if John is at 197 mph at the 1/2 mile marker (just like Peter) ... He'll get "about" 3 more seconds of acceleration, after the 1/2 mile marker ... Will the car add an additional 3 mph in 3 seconds??? ... Gonna be close ...
  7. Mike's Stage 3, ran roughly 195 mph ... At altitude ... Peter's 2011 570 Stage 3 ran 197 mph ... Oct 2013 at Houston 1/2 mile ... Soooo ... Given another 210+ yards over and above the 1/2 mile ... Can a Stage 3 pick up another 3+ mph??? At 200 mph ... You travel roughly a football field (100 yards) per second ... The question is ... Is a Stage 3 capable of accelerating at 2 mph per second ... Once it's already traveling 197 mph ... Translation, it's going to be close ... Regarding future upgrades ... Let's look at the evidence ... You now have a bolt-on ... That's soon to be a Stage 3 ... We've all seen this movie before ... I'm afraid you're hooked my friend ... There's definitely a R Version in your future ... Especially, if your Stage 3 only runs 199 mph ... CONGRATULATIONS!!! ... You're going to love it ...
  8. Did you get bored with the speed already ... I could've sworn I saw the car for sale, here in Chicago area ... What's up???
  9. Looks like someone is about to have a loooong weekend ... Congrats to both of you ... Enjoy ... Be safe ...
  10. Mike, A couple of take aways: 1. A 2R is a really fast car ... As expected ... 2. Looks like your little Stage 3 held off the 2R, thru the top of 5th gear ... Not expected ... Congrats, great to see you enjoying the car ... In a safe environment ... By the way, do you have the dash cam video, from your race with the 918 ... Also, I gotta ask, did you run him down before he got to the finish line ...
  11. Congrats to UGR ... Congrats to Heffner/OB ... Congrats to ETS ... Any car that will run north of 225 mph in the 1/2 mile has to be just a little bit scary ... Let's try to keep our eye on the ball here ... The fact that everyone is going home SAFE, means ALL of these shops are doing a HELL OF A JOB!!,
  12. I'm afraid Single Seat is right ... However, if you got up today, had breakfast with your family, sent the kids off to school, jumped in the car, put on some tunes, and worked on your vocal range as you drove to work ... That was my morning ... Gotta love multi-tasking ... Now imagine you woke this morning to find your neighbor's bodies on their front lawns, with heads and limbs missing ... All because they did not want to join ISIS ... You need more ... You call the cops ... But they never arrive, they're too busy, apparently ISIS is still wreaking havoc, In the meantime, ISIS returns to your neighborhood, and decide to take your family out ... While they force you to have a front row seat ... They walk away ... Everyone and everything that you cared about is decimated ... Gone forever ... About that time, Single Seat comes by and asks you .. Do you want me to be nice and try and separate the good ones from the bad ones ... OR ... Do you want me to just waste that whole damn area??? See how your perspective changes, when it actually becomes personal for YOU ...
  13. The P1 has got nothing for that ... As long as we're just talking straight line acceleration ... Throw in some corners, and I have a feeling things will start to change ...
  14. I believe someone asked that question before ... I think you get an additional 100 whp on 93 octane ... Which would drop your 60 - 130 mph time ... From about 4.3 seconds down to about 3.8 - 3.9 seconds ...
  15. Brooks, You and Bill are rocking those 650's ... It's a toss up between the yellow and the white ... I don't know which way I would go ... Ahhh Hell ... I guess I'd just close my eyes and flip a coin ...
  16. Yep ... 1300 hp at the tires, should be about all you need, in those conditions ... All joking aside ... 1300 on 93 octane ... So that means you have a daily driver ... That's capable of ... 60 - 130 mph time of about 3 seconds ... Flat ... Wow!!!
  17. If Kevin is going to take him out in your car ... This is starting to sound like one of those moments, that should definitely be recorded ... I'm talking in-car video, with the camera focused on the passenger seat ... That is, of course, if the UGR crew is not too busy ... We get it ... Take care of business first ...
  18. Stevenson or Tristate ...
  19. Pete, As I recall, you drive your car to the event, about 1.5 hours (there and back) ... That's says a lot about the durability and reliability, that UGR builds into these cars ... Soooo ... Any updates on your move to an Aventador???
  20. I noticed the trap speed and ET was different than the last event ... Was the same 1,600 ft course used this time???
  21. Congrats ... On back to back wins ... Looks like Pete may have added that 109 Tune ...
  22. Sam, OK ... Let's have your driving impressions ... Viper vs POS ... By the way ... You did good ... Sweeeeet Ride!!!
  23. ... ... ... What ... You saw the video ... Still trying to catch my breath ... Apparently, you can't type if you can't breathe ... OK ... Who moved my damn Oxygen Tank ... Again ...
