    My math might be off, I figure 360-370+ only 1 bar but I held of a E39 M5 on the Palisades Pkwy on my way to West Point 2 weeks ago. That left the factory rated @ 400hp before his CAI and what ever else he didn't wanna tell me because he go done in but a VW. Eventho that was a power to weight not to mention a FWD vs. RWD in my opinion the car is a Beast.

    To be considered: Healthy VR6, new rings, cams etc... 9:1 headspacer, Precision 6262, United Motorsports 630cc setup, Aeromotive 340lph pump & Aeromotive regulator. Certain things ported can't reveal extensive details. Nevertheless the car is healthy spins tires in EVERY gear, I wanna turn it up see and feel the potential but there isnt enough decent road around here for me to do it.
    It's a beast for real

    So it's about 3:20am Sunday morning.. I'm @ a gas station cause I had to put this up..
    Long Island Expressway to Van Wyck I'm crusing coming from a club, as soon as I get on the Van Wyck 2 blurrs go flying past me... So I had to think to myself {join the party or call it a night}
    Ofcousre we knew I joined the party or I wldnt be writing this...
    I catch up with them {them being Evo X and C-5 Convertible Vette} Top of the Van Wyck, Hillside Ave. and we GO @ IIITTTT!!!!! The Single most best time I've had with the car to date!!!! I don't think either one of them knew what was going on. the Evo be it the car or driver was falling behind, I held off the Vette which was by my passenger coming hard till a little after the Linden Blvd exit. Far from embarrassed, the car is a TRUE Monster as stated by the Vette driver. Who I WILL see again. Back to the drawing board on some BRAKES, and steering doesn't feel tight @ 132mph from GPS, and gearing.
    OK I'm going home...

    Had to EDIT this... To put it in perspective for those non New Yorkers or Queens dwellers about 2 miles {1.8 miles as per Google Maps} of Oh SH!T there's a little red VW in front of me?! In light traffic, dry road, and about 38 degrees temp.

    I gotta go back and sort thru prolly 1 or 2 more but it is relatively simple if you know how to get it out. Bad part and doing all the work alone is messy hands can't keep stopping to take pics.

    Nice straight away right there. Doesn't it start to get bumpy right around Rockaway Blvd.? I know the area well. The Holiday Inn right off Rockaway (next to Burger King) is my jump-off meeting spot.
    And my Auntie lives right on Linden, in the 120's.

    I had a similar run the other night except it was against a STi & a worked B7 A4. We were doing 100+ and i to didn't like the way it felt. No problem with brakes tho. My Audi dual pot's works like magic.

    Lemme get this straight (trying to vision it...) You get on the Wyck from the LIE where they past you as you were merging on. You catch up, and start running them down the Wyck till around Linden (Exit 3 iirc). Thats about an exit away from the trains, no?

    It is going to be a crazy summer. Can't wait for the toys to be pulling out. We need to create a NYC traffic ticket fund. Jay everbody who has been with you for years know how much you like your speed. There is no need to build a car if you can't make it fly. I am all for drop tops with speed. The convertible jetta is coming for the ride. A photo shoot is essential for the whole crew this year. Great job brother!
