Bmoores 200mph pass @ the texas mile.

Not sure how to embed. Anyways it was fun. 6th fastest p-car at the event out of a dozen or so. I was pretty pumped. Not quite as fast as Joe and Art but maybe next time around.

YouTube - Ben Moores goes 200.5 mph in Porsche 996TT

Nice work Ben, that is some serious speed in such a distance, and 6th fastest Porsche is a great achievement in that event. If you have any pics from the event, please post them up.

Wish I could have made it out there, but by the time they notified me about being able to run I was 6 hours away in West Texas. I'll try to make the spring event.

Great work! Breaking the 200 mark in the mile is quite an achievement.

Makes me want to make my 996tt stupid fast as well...

Would love to see some pics too, if you have any!

I know!! I seriously questioned whether I had jinxed myself. I had 4 official runs. Once we changed the wastegate settings it was 200+ from there on out

0-186 time was 21.45. Still not sure what power i'm making will be dyno'ing today or tomorrow. The two EVOMS cars other than joe's did 202 and 204 and both are dyno'ing at 805whp. Prior to this I had been thinking my numbers will be sub 700whp we'll see what happens though.

some 0-186 numbers for reference.

Nice run Ben, car sounds nice and strong! Now you need a 200 mph club sticker.
