      Hot off the presses

      Jeff Schwartz and his twin turbo ultima wins the Z2Z competition at the Silver State Challenge in Ely Nevada. While only making power with 8.9 psi (set up to do 15) he made the run to 0-190.2-0 in a lightning 40 seconds. He posted the top speed and fastest time in the competition, besting Big Red, a few twin turbo vipers and a twin turbo Ford GT. More details as they come in. Way to go Jeff and the Schwartz Performance team.

      Is Jeff a member on this site?
      Anyway That's awesome, if it's faster than Big Red then it's fast indeed.

      Yesterday (02:54) I spoke to him Wed night my time. He'd done a string of allnighters, only finishing the dyno at 2.00am on the Sunday morning.

      He was having trouble with electronic boost control.... so he disabled it and went to the wastegate control.

      He was also having troubles getting over 4200rpm... but was pulling mid 600hp and low 700ft/lb at the wheels... at 4200!!! He laid that map over a map of a twin turbo SB that went 850 at the wheels.... and his was very similar up to 4200.

      He's got drag radials all round.... he said they are that sticky they pick up rocks when they are cold... so no wheelspin

      He drove it on the road with only 5psi (its designed for 15) and he said it was "just plain stoopid" Scariest thing he's ever driven and definitely overkill....



      Just spoke to him..... he's had a few problems. Thought it was MAP... got a new one. That didnt fix it. Connector was loose on the ECU. Missed his track session today.

      He's in the middle of nowhere... there's 5 hotels, 2 strip clubs and a couple of massage parlours... including an Asian massage place!!!! nice!!

      Tomorrow is the 0-200-0.

      Its 5900 ft above.... his testing was done at 1000... he's got some work to to tonight.

      Nobody knows what to think of the GTR.........

      More tomorrow.

      Yesterday (21:16) I have been checking the site, but I don't think any results will be posted until the 16 or 17th. DOH! Guess we will have to hope someone there has some updates they can pass along.

      Yesterday (23:27) NEWSFLASH................

      I just got a voicemail on my cell phone (on the charger) from Jeff. He finished in 1st place. He never made it to 200....no one did....he made it 190.2 and back to 0 in 40 seconds. You could only accelerate to the one mile mark......then on the brakes. He said there was a 30-40 mile per hour crosswind....and once the runs were over....it started snowing!! Nice job Jeff!

      01:11 Just spoke to Jeff.

      He hit full boost and the wastegates opened and he lost boost, so he had to feather the throttle to keep the boost up. He was only running 8-9lb trying to keep the wastegates shut.... he's back on the electronic boost control now and should be able to hold 11-13lb tomorrow.

      So, you get what I'm sayin... he did 190, and won the event.... at part throttle!!!

      He said he was still working on the car before the run. There were a load of people snobbing him off before the run, whispers in the background etc.... now there is silence!

      HA d firkin HA HA !!!

      The car is not fully dialled in.....

      $89,000 and all that is required to complete the Can-Am is a small block Chevrolet engine and a standard Porsche G50 transaxle.... http://www.ultimacars.com/fra_pricing_ordering.htm

      Congrats on the win. What mph did it run in the standing mile?



      Any chance this car will come out to the TX mile in Oct? I'm pretty disappointed we couldn't make SS this time around, but would love a chance to run against this car.

      btw what TT Vipers were at the event? I wasn't aware any of the big hitters were going out to play.

      Oh I see he's an IL local, would Jeff by chance be up for some late night HWY fun against a couple vipers?
