Newsletter 34 Porsche Club Puebla Taxco Drive
"The Puebla Region of the Porsche Club Mexico may not be largest but certainly is the fastest in Latinamerica"

The Puebla Region's first event for 2007 was a GTG & Drive to the city of Taxco. Impeccable organization, great comradery among members and lots of fast driving made of this first event a success. Where the main purpose of the event is socializing, adding the driving element makes it lots of fun. Members displayed the fastest Porsches making it also a great show of power and speed. Early in the morning 17 Porsches took the road from Puebla to Taxco in a day where the fun and speed ended late in the evening...












Let's check out the action...
The start...
Everything started very early in the morning in Puebla...
Playing hookie & Open road...
Who might have thought that this event took place on a Tuesday? Well its seems no one can take off week end social events, from golf tournaments to weddings to third cousin's birthdays... yet missing a day at the office seemed like a good idea for everyone... well almost everyone but me... yet the event took place on a Tuesday... Porsches playing hookie on a Tuesday... 911's on an open road...
Evoms Supercharged...
Evoms specs 470hp for the Supercharged 3.6L. Power delivery is constant and acceleration smooth. Tremendous engine sounds come thanks to a full Supersprint headers/cats/exhaust system. Bilstein PSS9's have been sorted for maximum performance. Suspension tweaks include sway bars, stress bars and 15mm spacers rear 10mm at the front. Stopping power increased via larger front brakes and race pads. Inside you may find extra gauges to keep track of engine statistics, sport seats and Tequipment roll bar. Autodynamica's full service support ensures constant fast driving. Autodynamica @ www.autodynamica.com
Cocoyoc...
Quick stop at Cocoyoc where we picked up the Cuernavaca leg...
... right in front of me the 700hp Evoms 996TT (silver), Evoms Supercharged 470hp 996 C4S (red), Cayman S in brand spanking new form, Piasini Engineering 996TT (seal), and leading the group our very own 997TT with sonorous AWE Tuning Exhaust and EVO headers... a very fast group of Porsches indeed...
Alan Bayo...
Alan's 3.2L Widebody Targa was sorted by Farben Motors with Koni suspension components, "19 OEM 997 Carrera S wheels, at the back it holds a B&B exhaust and the interior displays custom sound system, Momo steering wheel and fully working 996TT power seats. Good looking as well as fast.
On our way...
I had my rear view mirrors filled as you can see on the pic...
...at the front... a line of fast moving Porsches...
Italian Style Tuning...
The Potenza Digitale 996TT features custom Piasini Engineering (www.piasiniengineering.it )ECU software and Supersprint custom exhaust system. On the road faster than expected really, tremendously fast !!!
HPD Turbo...
Menacing looking 997TT where HPD Puebla claims a 100hp gains on software alone... certainly fast...

..ready to write 24 tickets and impound over 3 mill in cars? don't think so...
Moving fast...
We went on...
...close action continued through out the route...
... is that your mom's grocery getter? I had to make the joke c'mon!!!
F1 Racing Cafe...
For lunch we stopped at the F1 Racing Cafe. This place is amazing, specially for Mexico. We seriously recommend it and would like to thank the F1 Racing Cafe @ http://f1racingcafe.com for their hospitality, outstanding service and enthusiasm.
Lounge & Coffee Bar...
The F1 Racing Cafe served lunch for us in the lounge & coffee bar... they have full restaurant menu with breakfast, lunch and dinner. The menu is great you have to at least read it when there, gelatto and capuccino well recommended too...
Their boutique is filled with nice stuff... from memorabilia to the latest gifts from Maranello and the F1 Circuit... be sure to bring your Master Card you will need it...
Boutique...
Work in progress...
Autodynamica sourced and installed an AWE Tuning exhaust with Evo headers that not only increased hp and reduced lag but also increased driveability. Wide HRE wheels not only look good they keep the 997TT planted on the road. Work in progress supervised by Frissen Gutierrez Porsche Specialist and Tuning Expert...
Time to head back home...
The drive back home was lots of fun and one shot down to Puebla, no cameras, no stopping, just pure fast driving !!!
Fast on our way...
