In this episode of 'So You Think Your Car is Fast', we discuss the Shift-S3ctor Hondo race, and Todd gets a little spicy with his thoughts on how fast the winners were. There's a lot to talk about with the race season, details about the class structure, and end-of-season payout.
Taylor has some video of his car's PDK transmission doing work, and we discuss a little about how the PDK (Porsche Doppel-Kupplung, that's a mouthful) operates. Getting it to work seamlessly with aftermarket electronics isn't as easy as it sounds folks.
Dan has some new parts, including an all-important steering wheel swap in the works. We may also poke a little fun at Porsche owners who for reasons not fully understood start foaming at the mouth about upgrading their steering wheels. A new fuel system upgrade is in the works as well, and we have some details on that.
There is a couple of VERY nice high-horsepower Porsche 911s for sale, and we take a look at those and talk a little bit about the pricing, and where things are going in the future for these cars with the advent of electric vehicles seemingly taking over.

Remember: Everything is faster in Texas. Check out our website at https://www.soyouthinkyourcarisfast.com for more information.We also discuss some upcoming races, including the Super Rowl in Kansas and the Texas Invitational Telemetry System (T.I.T.S.). We plan to have Steve, Wayne, and Jared join us at the remaining events for adult supervision, and we will be dedicating Jared of BBI fame to "tooning" the Porsches.
We also delve into the technical aspects of car modification and racing, discussing topics such as motorsport-quality traction control and exploring the differences between wheel-speed sensors and GPS/inertial measurement systems for measuring performance to implement traction control. Dan and Todd are planning to make a trip to Phoenix to visit our engine builder, John Bray at EvoSpec, which has become a tradition for us.
Todd shares his plans to buy Xona turbos, and we compare the measurements of the Xona X3C/X4C setups to Garrett G/GT35 series turbos in terms of fitment sizing.
Lastly, we explore what turbo someone would need to make 1700-1800 horsepower to the wheels in a twin-turbo configuration and demonstrate how to quickly size a pair of turbos to a horsepower goal. Todd is calling Robert to make plans, and we plan to share more details in the next episode.
