Damn that sucks janine, but I wouldn't really stress over that loss. The Carrera GT is Porsche's supercar, it's up there running with the heavy hitters of the exotic world. Keep in mind that it is VERY possible that even if that car was brand new that the guy had modded it already. I have caught word of cammed, tuned, etc. GTs running in the low 10s. Even bone stock, those cars are made for racing at extremely high speeds. Where your car might feel like a rattlepile ****box at 156, his feels like you're going 60mph at that speed hah
Now, switch to a twin turbo setup and maybe a decent shot of nitrous and you might have him up to like like 150 or so. I don't think you need to do any aerodynamic type mods or anything, just overpower him with power if you ever get another shot at him.
Finally, some kind words of encouragement!. The place where I have my mods done is doing several Twin Turbo set ups now. I am waiting to see the results before I shell out the 9k to have it done. Believe me, if it is all that, I will go for the whole enchallida.

Yea, if she's runnin 11's in the quarter, there is no way that (stock) it should have destroyed you like you said...
i mean, some of those exotics are amazingly stupid creepy fast, but still, how many stock street legal cars run 10's?? I'll bet we could count them on 2 hands no problem. ( i could be wrong though )
just seems like if it happened, youre exaggerating ....perhaps?? i dont know,,,,
In a straight line a Ford GT/C6 Z06 destroy Carrera GTs, they are without a doubt track cars. DOnt get clif wrong, they'll pull elevens no problem. If her car really can run an 11.37(which it cant. A Ford GT weighs less, is MUCH MUCH more aerodynamic and is making more than 500rwhp from the factory. You telling me a blown 2v is gonna run QM times similar to something Evan smith would bust out?) than she would have been MUCH closer to that Porsche. Maybe it was a kit car with a good amount of NOS stickers on it?

Again, I will pose the question. My Mustang dyno's 458 whp with 479 tq. Its weight is about 3500 lbs. with little me in it. I am running a built automatic aode tranny with wide ratio planitary gears, shift kit, harden shaft, and 3200 rpm stall speed converter. IT CAN'T MIS A GEAR. Give all that information. How fast should my 02 Mustang run, Clif?

Clif, the Carrera GT runs 11.1s at 133+mph. That's equal to the BEST driver of a Z06 on slicks. I wouldn't say the Z06 destroys it by any means.... other than bang for the buck =p
Now, that said, I SERIOUSLY doubt that T-bizzle was that great of a driver, adding further merit to my theory that he may have been modded. 1/4 mile times speak nothing for what that car has on the top end too, and it's consistent with janine's description of it pulling cars and cars and cars from 150+ At the quarter mile mark, the GT is just getting warmed up as far as it's speeding ability.

frannie lew! for anyone who doesnt beleive that people arond here can afford such rediculous cars think again... this is a place where the kids have m3s and s500s as their first cars. if you drive around here you will see at least 10 cars over $100k a day. most of you people are from iowa and places like that so the most expensive vehicle you see is a tractor. i beleive you 100 percent janine. i get to lose to benz amgs all the time. '(but my car is slow)

Very nice -- the Iowa/tractor relationship! All so true. I am glad someone can atest for the reality of the great and notorious drag strip Francis Lewis, aka Frannie Lew boulevard. My stomping grounds!

I am from not to far where you guys are.... I lived there for a good 12years, and go back all the time... I don't think i've seen most of those type cars but then again im not in the hamptons... I can very easily believe those cars are running around NYC... What I said is that what are the chances are, are that Janine is always near the baddest of the bad cars. a Z06 just as they came out, a 10 second cuda that "wheelied on the street ", and now the Porsche supercar drivin by a guy named t-bone. C'mon... I think she writes these for her creative writing class in college, and posts here for sh*ts and giggles... haha... I really think she could run low 11's on the track with a 1.6 60" (if she really does have that car)... there are plenty of Cobras with those numbers (slightly higher power#'s) running that with a low 60"...

Did the '06s get a boost in HP? I remember the '04/'05 running mid-high elevens. Damn it Porsche
Janine: I would say high elevens. But low elevens on street tires? Do you have some type of street radial? Nittos or Mickey Ts? Just curious.

ok everyone needs to lay off of janine. she always comes through with awesome race stories, is always honest, and open to hearing other peoples constructive input. for the rest of you throwing up bs flags and calling her out, get over yourselves. Who made you internet gods?? she was there, she saw what happened, end of story.
secondly to whoever was claiming that queens is the ghetto needs to get out from under their bed. and janine did say in her initial post that the party where the gt was at was in the hamptons. read before you bash.
thirdly i have to agree about the tt setup for your ride janine. it would have helped out a lot more at top end. but those careras are beasts past 120. consider yourself lucky, none of these internet gods will probably ever see a carrera gt let alone race one like you did.

I dont doubt it, Porsches and Ferraris have a solid 2 tons of wire and computer equipment to keep them from turning into a 100mph smoke show

Really. I just did a little research on the 2006 Carrera GT. 0-62 in 3.9 seconds and 0-100 in 7 seconds flat. What is this about wire preventing them from going all out?

You totally misunderstood me, I was talking aboot the electronic traction controls in late-model German and Italian ultra high end sports cars and supercars. I didnt say anything aboot them not going all out.

Well, then, just push in the track control button and your straight. If I forget to turn off the track control and put into boost, I risk going lean and breaking the engine. All traction control does is retard the timing. Why would anyone use it except in wet weather? The Carrera would have been at a disadvantage if traction wasn't turned off.
