I fell in love with his turbo during the cruise, I was behind him for the last few minutes and when he punched it I felt a sonic boom vibration against my car

Thought he was going to bust a U but he didn't. haha
Ok that means we took a left off skyline too early. There was an intersection where a bunch of the Porsches were going in circles and we probably should have gone straight ahead but we took a left which took us down to 280 (one exit north of Sand Hill) where the CHPs were. We had to get back on 280 and go south one exit to reach Sand Hill.

Hahah, that's why I didn't pick up my radio -- just listening.

Ed, just curious what's the most powerful 997TT you've heard of that's also streetable? When I dream, I dream big. LOL!

John, turning left right at that intersection was the right direction but later on, there is a really sharp right hand kink that would have taken you to Portolla Road and then you'd en up on Sandhill. I think most people missed that sharp right hander cause it drops a bit too so it's not in plain sight. The other John (member Glock-357) radioed me just in time to tell me when to turn.

I think for the next drive, I should do a trial run first and be crystal clear in the mapping for others to follow. hahaha

heres my video of the trip lost alot of footage threw the hills from fog but i think it still turned out pretty good.i had better music for it till youtube pulled it off for copyright infringement so it made me pick from a very short list of songs to use instead.

Yeah, but I somehow doubt it's very road friendly. And I KNOW it would never pass emissions in any state, so I wouldn't call it 'streetable'.
Switzer makes a 900+ crank hp kit which is apparently road friendly.
