Craig,

I can't find it - What speed did you post dude?

(also - checking F-chat, are you looking for wheelspacers)

Click on the link and at the bottom it says speed table. Max of 155mph, quicker than any normally aspirated 911's bar one 996. The Cerbera was a bit quicker than me. I was amazed by the handling on my car though, really impressed me.

Manu, thinking of wheelspacers so by all means drop me a line with a quote however, money is tight at the mo so not an immediate thing, also (completely contradicting myself)I may be changing wheels to 355 ones.

The 996 turbos will always have an advantage because they can get onto the straight at a faster speed, next time perhaps it should be from a standing start?

I was entering the straight at the same speed as Tifosi in his 996 turbo, I think it was as much a case of outright bhp winning through (his had around 100hp more than mine), we were getting about halfway when he would come hammering past me, got some good video footage, no idea how to get it on the web though!

Manu, out of interest how many BHP should mine have? it's 320 from the factory & now has no cats, a sports exhaust & k&n filters.
