Anyone with a re-mapped TTS would find it useful though even as a one off to see how fast their car is.

Where is it held - can't see that either?

I did a Vmax last September and agree partly to this. I was curious as to how my car would perform against some really proper fast cars after a visit to 9 Excellence. I wasn't disappointed. I was very pleased with my cars performance. We didn't go daft with the tune and I'm running ~600hp.
I too love the twisties (don't we all?). I definitely don't need any more poke to enjoy my car. Even now the torque will break away those 305 sectioned PS4S's if I'm too eager on the gas exiting a corner.
Vmax is a great event though and definitely worth a look. There were some amazing motors there to browse. Petrolhead heaven :thumbs:

What speed did you run?
Not many Porsche's there yesterday.
I will let Tom spill his results :grin:

We could easily add more boost too. It will run out of gears at 225ish so there's little point in doing it. My goal was to break the 200 barrier which was done last year but I had unfinished business. The car was driven to vmax and home with no issues. Both kids seats will go back in and it will resort back to family and life duties. The car is an absolute credit to both Matt at Fearnsport and Rick at Unicorn Motor Developmets. I am one happy boy and love my old 996 even more than I already did.
