The event will take place 9,10 may 2009.
What are your bets on the GT : 1/4 mile will be tough and probably the GTR's and 911 turbos will give me a good fight. In 1 mile, 2 miles and top speed the only real competitors are Koenigsgg, Enzo, Ultima GTR and 800hp Viper.
Unfortunately I still have the stock clutch and I don't think that it will last enough to race too many opponents.
But the Enzo owner has made a bet with me that I won't reach 350 km/h (216 mph) top speed -the bet is 10 k USD so if i do - a lot of new goodies ofr the GT:)
I plan to run on MS 109 race gas (if i get the tune from Jason :)) and try both sets of wheels PS2's and Hoosier R6's. What do you think of my chances?

This will all me filmed by 9 full HD cameras + I will have 1 or 2 in car cams.

P.S. If anyone is in Moscow around those dates - more than welcome to attend :)

Cheers,

Alex

When you say "your" old GT, how many miles did you put on it? 50? :lol

You're about to win $10k Alex. Your car will hit well over 200 mph in a mile, and if you can run 1.5 miles before breaking, you will easily crush 216 mph.

2 miles....top speed. GT wins.

also, the GT should just barely beat those 997's in the mile.

It should be a fun event with a great line up of cars (and Grand Cherokees).
If I were betting 10k on reaching 216 mph, my 1st event would be either the 2 Miles or Top Speed. Good luck :cheers

so you have a 2.2 mile straight with a 1 mile shutdown for a total of 3.2 miles then. a twin turbo Ford GT with 1000 rwhp should go at least 240 mph. the more power the faster it will go. stock gearing and tire height is good for 260 mph on GPS at 6,500 rpm's. if you turn up the boost to say 1250+ rwhp i bet you could max out 6th gear at 260 mph. make sure you get it on video both from outside the car and in the cockpit.

Shelby it now has about 7000 miles so that makes it about 3200 miles for me!
I hope this summer is not as rainy as the last one :)

Wow Alex. Wish I could see this. My wife and I will likely be in Moscow over New Year's or possibly sooner. We have family in Novosibirsk and Chelabinsk (?sp). How are the roads for a super exotic? Bicycled about 5 years ago around the Golden Ring between St. Pete and Moscow....otherwise, just cabbing. But I would love to see this!! Be careful of those walls.:thumbsup

Dave's right, you're going to win $10k if you play it right. Don't waste your clutch on the 1/4 mile. Since you may have a limited number of runs with a stock clutch that has 7000 miles on it, save it for the 1 and 2 mile runs. Don't waste your tires and clutch on burnouts trying to heat your tires because traction off the line is irrelevant on long runs. Take off easy and don't slip the clutch trying to keep it in boost or it will be your last run (I speak from experience).

Depending on the tune Jason is sending you and your boost level, you may be able to break 215 in the 1 mile but on the 2 mile run 230 plus is to be expected.

You've got plenty of room to stop so don't be hard on your brakes. Just let off and bring it down slowly especially on a rough surface.

I think you have a very good chance of being the fastest car in the 1 mile but that Koenigsegg may catch you in the 2 mile. The Viper is no threat for top end but I don't know about the Ultima.

I'd see about raising the bet with your buddy.:thumbsup

Good luck and I can't wait to hear how you do against that very diverse line-up of cars. :cheers

(.....I can't say that I am not a little jealous that even Russia has a runway event and we can't get one done in Cali.) :frown

Decided not to have car 13 - unlucky number :)

Did some highway pulls this weekend vs SLR and modded GTR (about 570 hp)
At about 180 mph my front lip came off (the middle screw attaching the lip got torn out! and in the 2nd video I was racing the SLR with a huge hole in the front of the car with air going in to the underbody (was like a huge parachute!!!) but i was still a lot faster!
The starts were done from 60mph - 1st vid was from 3rd gear - 2nd vid from 2nd gear. Sorry for the quality - the cameraman was not too good.
