Highest dyno's were:

Saad - 950 (Twin t3/t4 or Twin 60-1's)
Guilly - 805 (HKS 2835's)
Tozer - 795 (T88)
Angel - 759 (T78)

There was a bone stock 95 6-speed (no hoses pulled, etc.. bone stock, even had trac fuse in) that put down 305RWHP.

At the track, Billy Bar with a white T66 6-speed totalled out when he tried to overcorrect while getting wobbly on ET Slicks. He hit the right wall at 98 mph (Exactly at the 1/8th mark), then hit the other wall at 70+. Airbags were deployed, etc. He walked away without a scratch. Car looks pretty bad, but it looks worse then it is, very repairable.

As far as the track, no one could get any traction there at all. Every gear i was in, i was all over the place, chirping the tires in every gear, and getting sideways the entire way down the track, countersteering the entire way. One of the T66 guys tried to run on street tires and he spun the tires from 1st till the end of the 1/4 mile, never had a single moment of traction. Pretty pathetic.

Anyhoot, those are the highlights. I did meet up with 2 of the Vegas TT Z owners there as i was filling up to head back home (oh, and just a fyi, 280miles on less then 3/4th of a tank, with fouled plugs, bad o2 sensors, and going average 100+ the entire way, with 5-10 80-150+ sprints..). They were really nice guys with nice cars. Definetly looked like they were representing for imports in vegas, the land of the domestic..
