We started our 20 days to 200mph thread knowing that it would take some work to reach that goal. We figured some people would read it, some would cheer us on, and some would put us down. In the end, we not only reached our goal, we smashed it by 6mph. In October 2009 we were only able to touch 195.7mph. That extra 4mph did not seem far away, but was tough to obtain. Now in March 2010, we went back to Goliad with some new tricks, engineering, and desire only to leave with smiles.

Building a car to go fast in a 1/4 mile is something many people do. But building a car that can reach speeds in a 1 mile race over the $1M production Bugatti Veyron is another story. We learned alot from our first go at it. When we return to the Mile again, we will have learned more and will continue to strive for the best. Each little tweak the Vivid Racing Team added helped. This was not by luck, but determination, talent, and proving that we are more then just a place to buy car parts.

So what were the final numbers:
Run 1 Shakedown - 195mph 
Run 2 - 202.1mph
Run 3 - 203.6mph
Run 4 - 206.2mph
60-130mph Time with PBox - 6.04sec

 Vivid Racing would like to introduce the Balrog aero kit for the Porsche Cayenne Turbo 08+ 957 models by French designer, Jeremie Paret.  As the official USA distributor, we are proud to offer such a unique and lifestyle inspired designer aero kit.  Engineered and built in France, this kit offers the Porsche Cayenne owner a new way of life.

The Balrog is an aggressive and punchy wide bodykit with a touch of elegance. After 8 months of research to give to his customers the best quality, Jeremie Paret is proud to introduce it to the world. The Balrog includes a front bumper with genuine Cayenne Turbo side lights and fog lights with angel eyes. This bumper improves the cooling of all intercoolers of the Cayenne, and the cooling of the front brakes. Moreover, the drilled luxury grill offers an innovative design in automotive styling. Of course, all Porsche options, like the xenon nozzles or the parking detectors, can be mounted on the Balrog bodykit. The wide fenders allow the Balrog to fit very large wheels for an improved handling and an uncompromised style with big lips. At the rear of the car, the spoiler and its diffuser give you more aerodynamic pressure. The diffuser can be removed in only a few minutes to let you install your tow hook. At last, the side skirts finish to give to the Balrog its so different and eye-catching look.
