We just did a new dyno with the current mods on the car to see how it reacted. It is very nice outside with an ambient temperature of about 80F. The car is running Agency Power Catless Downpipes, Agency Power Exhaust with Ti Tips, Agency Power Intercooler, JB3 ECU, Riss Racing Intake. We run a Mustang Dyno which reads a bit lower then some of the DynoJets runs out there. We were running pump gas of 91 octane. The made an impressive 322 rwhp and 375 ft/lbs of torque. Once we remove the center pipe and run race gas, I bet we see 350 wheel horsepower. More info coming up!
The Texas Mile is one of the ultimate tests of a vehicles power, aerodynamics, and the skill of the driver. With all types of vehicles ranging from stock Camaro’s and Shelby Mustang’s to 1000+ horsepower Viper’s and Corvette’s, standing mile speeds range from 150mph to 200+mph. Vivid Racing of Gilbert, Arizona attended the highly anticipated event with their VR800 Porsche 997 Turbo October 16 and 17 after a 20 hour drive to Goliad County Industrial Airport. The flat blue wrapped 997 Turbo was equipped with a full Vorsteiner VRT Aero Kit featuring carbon fiber ducts, diffuser, and front lip spoiler. With HRE P40 Monoblock 19 inch wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tires and JIC Cross suspension, the platform was set to deliver power from 0-200mph. The VR800 kit which was developed in house after months of testing on the street, dyno, and racetrack by Vivid Racing, uses Agency Power products consisting of GT3076rs turbochargers and Tial 44mm external wastegates. In combination with a larger Agency Power throttle body plenum kit, 3 inch Ypipe, high flow intercoolers, straight pipes, and custom ECU tuning by Softronic, the VR800 Porsche 997 Turbo was able to put some impressive numbers at the Texas Mile. As the fastest 997 Turbo at the 2009 event, the VR800 ran the standing mile in 196mph. With a 0-60 time of 3.5 seconds and a 60-130 time of 6.33 seconds, the Porsche was well respected by enthusiasts, competitors, and spectators alike.
The VR800 kit is engineered to work and function off the stock engine internals with basic and reliable bolt on components. Utilizing the best and only OBDII flash tuning for the 997 Turbo by Softronic inconjunction with Agency Power performance products, the VR800 kit maintains complete driveability while delivering this intense performance gain.

Vivid Racing took delivery of its newest project car a few weeks back. With the intention of keeping this a mild build, an exhaust, HRE wheels and the existing Renntech Stage 5 kit is pretty much all that is in store… for now.
The exhaust selected is the Meisterschaft GT Racing. With more performance and a nice throaty sound, the Mesisterschaft keeps with the Mercedes look with polished stainless tips.
The existing Renntech Stage 5 kit included an ECU tune, headers, pulley, 78mm throttle body and a carbon fiber airbox. With this kit and the new exhaust, Vivid Racing was anxious to dyno the luxury neck breaker. The final number put down on our dyno is an amazing 446 horsepower and 491 ft. lbs of torque. All this while riding in comfort.
We are in route to the Texas Mile event at the Goliad Airport Park near Houston. We are trucking across the I-10 in our RV with our 24ft trailer pulling our monster 800HP Flat Blue Porsche 997TT. Before the mile, we equipped our Porsche with an AEM water injection kit to keep the intake temps cool, as well as a Nitrous Xpress Ntercooler kit. With the removal of the stock seats, we installed a Recaro Pro Race HANS seat and TeamTech harnesses saving us about 120lbs. Stay tuned to our Blog Here and us on Twitter for more updates!
Vivid Racing’s Porsche 997 Turbo project car has been featured on the front of www.clutchmasters.com. Our 997TT uses the Clutch Masters Stage 3 clutch kit. The clutch features a full disk comprised of a steel backing and fibertough material on the flywheel contact side. Fibertough is strong like kevlar but less abrasive. These clutch kits offer an easy engagement and hold over 700 horsepower. They work with the stock flywheel, however if you want the car to rev quicker, Clutch Masters does sell a single mass lightweight flywheel saving you over 13lbs of rotational weight. Check out all our Clutch Master Stage 1 – 4 kits and their new Twin Disks for all makes and models on our site.
