Thanks for the pics Alex, the TT looks excellent.

I love the pic. with the Ferrari Daytona in the background.

I'm very surprised to hear that the 996 TT can be modified to acheive those insane top speeds. I've been considering purchasing a 996 TT for some time now, I just need to find the right one.

Good luck to you. I'll be staying tuned for more info. on the event, etc.

Same pic has a Lambo Countach and a Ferrari 550 Maranello/575M. Very cool.

I just wanted to drop a note and say THANK YOU to EVOMS for prepping my CGT and fine tuning her as well as making space on their trailor to transport her!

She ran 185.550MPH in the mile, which according to my friends at PORSCHE is now officially the world fastest documented CGT in a standing mile =)

Speed Channel is going to air an episode of the mile shortly!

GMG did'nt get the 60-80 Diff back in time so she will be making her debut in October at the mile..... This gives me more time for the Carbon Fiber Body and wind-tunnel testing for final cd. I refuse to rush things (no pun intended) when it comes to top speed and safety.

Very nice to meet you guys =) You left before we could do our interview with Speed on Sunday =(

Please post some photos of your guy's 997 turbo you had at the event (Red looks great on that car)....and know that the worlds fastest CGT in the mile has your exhaust on it! =)
