Brent Rau 6.97 run!

[clipsekid99]

I was just watching Nopi Tunervision on speed channel, and Rau just ran a damn 6.97 @ 198!!! I found a clip of it here - http://www.racingflix.com/forum/foru...?TID=2396&PN=1

INSANE!!!

Fun to watch, nice find. How many of the fast DSMs are running RWD, BTW?

[clipsekid99]

To my knowledge, he's the only one. But, I could be wrong. He has the fastest eclipse in the world.

Oh my god.... that is just plain amazing. I wonder what he has under the hood.

[blk_srt]

He has a 4g63, but I've been trying to figure out what transmission he is using. anyway he is not only the fastest dsm but i believe they said hes the fastest 4 cylinder in the world to date

[l_eclipse_l]

I can only imagine the amount of time and money he has put into that thing. I can't really think of any cars faster at this point.

[Blackcrow64]

Thats extremly impressive, especially since he's not using nitrous at all... I wonder what turbo he has on it. Did you all read that he's building 53psi on the line? CRAAAAAAZY lol

I saw Rau over 5 years ago when he was driving the eclipse AWD. He ripped off a 9.5 sec. pass in Denver. That's @ over 5500 feet above sea level.

WOW that vid is crazy! it looks like the damn wheels are off the ground 1-3rd gear! damn hopefully he never hits a wall!!!!

Some RWDs that come to mind, bushcurs original 1g (now owned locally), the tube frame 2g (now Shep's), Plebanis and many other conquests, SBRs race car, and several others.

To me the craziest thing is both him and Shep are dominating the competition, most or all of which? are sponsored by honda, chevy, etc with $5 million+/yr budgets, tube frame gutted cars, nitrous, full race teams, etc. It's impressive to say the least that they can still win. It'd be insane to see what would happen on a level playing field!

Does anyone know of any complete articles on Shep, or Rau even, that describe why what they're doing is so insane?

OMG that's fricken nuts. I can't even imagine whats its like to go that fast.

Yes.the was a section in the D sport mag....about three months ago...4 months ago? Let me search real quick
