I can only imagine. I drove my friends Greddy TT Z a few times and was not impressed. Now a properly built TT Z that would much fun. If not downright scary

I hear ya on that note. I used to work on Porsche for a living. After driving the 1996 911 TT my level of expection of anything with twins rose beyond most people's reach. Although the AWD took a lot of the fun away. We should of had raffle tickets for a ride in that monster Z. Or just buy tickets like an amusement park ride

I am always up to give a fellow Z owner a ride. I usually like to keep it to 2 rides just because it gets pretty hot after beating it in the 105 degree heat.

techcontrol - next time u make it to a Dallas meet, you will get one of the 2.

I had fun, and it was nice meeting those I didn't know. Thanks everyone for all the pics and love for the car. Congrats to all the winners. All were well deserved.

I would really appreciate that. Not that I'm buttering you up or anything, but I voted for you in almost every category. I really thought you should have won "Best of Show". Your Z is awesome. Well done!

Hey thats my bike! haha I showed up for a while to check out the Zs. The ride there was really hot and it wasn't any better walkin around so I didn't stay very long.

There were some sweet lookin rides there guys!

I don't have a Z yet, but I'm a big fan and want to get one as soon as I can afford it.....it's just not in the cards right now. the ZX6R is pretty fun in the mean time though!

t32gzz - Was your car running at your 600+ whp tune that day or did you tune it down to 490ish? I remember at tin star, I was told that you had it tuned down. I would LOVE a ride in your monster Z also. After all, it IS the highest powered Z in TX if I'm not mistaken.

From what I remember he said his max dyno was 685 with the clutch slipping. He said anything over 650 and it starts to slip, that day he said he was tuned down to 620ish if I am not mistaken.

No offense to any other winners out there, but I have no earthly idea how Tim's car didn't win best of show?

+1, but I think it was Warren who won Best of Show. I'm guessin that since Tim's is SS, it didn't seem too unique even though everything on his car is customized. Warren has that color that not a lot of ppl have, so maybe it stuck out.

There where very few extra ballots from the public, so the winners where chosen primarily by the participants.
