Drag video and new pics...

[Mr. Luos]

Made 5 passes Wednesday night. Got the last three on tape.
Bog, bog, spin.
New tires next year, should be able to make it dead hook and really drop those ET's.

I love fall.

Man, that thing is a freaking beast... Your car is looking really good. I guess its about time to put it up till next year... What will you be shooting for next year? Those passes are all motor, right? How about a little spray action...

[Mr. Luos]

No spray. This car isn't going to get a cage, and would easily require one as it sits at sea level.
Next season it will have stickier tires, and I will be shooting for an 11.75 at some point. If I can get it to NOT bog and launch properly, I think it is do-able. Hoping to add 20RWHP this summer to the motor.

If anything...in a few years I will tug the motor, refresh it, and throw a ProCharger at it.

It indeed has become a mighty beautifull insane looking little monster...

Wow! Mr. Luos I'm calling myself a big fan now off the Trans Am.

You Know yr cars!!

[VR43000GT]

Nice! Looks like that last car really gave you a run for your money!

[youngvr4]

thats a bad dude

[CassiesMan]

Too bad it still has wheel gap.

[nissanfanatic]

Nice runs man. Are you still on stock final drive? Also, are you on the stock rear end?

I definitely think a stickier tire and a small shot of nitrous out of the hole would drop ETs a shit-ton.

[Mr. Luos]

Remember, a cage is needed for 11.49 and faster.
N/A, I would easily run that off the mountain. And the car isn't getting a cage.

Getting more tire though next season.
Moser 9" with 4.11's. Stock transmission. Cross the traps at about 6300RPM in 4th gear.

Nice. So you have the drivetrain leadway for much more power/ET.

I did hear this crazy idea about using PVC pipe and spray painting it black to fool tech officials.

Also, why not take a trip off the mountain? It would drive me nuts to "wonder" or estimate what it would do.

[Mr. Luos]

I have seen all kinds of calcs.
Anything from 10.6 to 11.3. Trapping near 130MPH.

Won't claim anything until I get to run it, but with my new family addition (8 month old now, Sara) things are a little tight. Will get better soon, and we are trying to get down to Dallas in March to visit some friends and abuse my car.


BTW...CassiesMan, do you want the frame on the ground??

[nissanfanatic]

Frame on the ground, and 17's. yes...hahah

I'm not much for calculators either. Apparently my car should run 10.3 at 131mph.. I'll probably never see the day this slut hits an 11...

[CassiesMan]

Nah man, I'm just giving you shit, but I bet Ricer would...



And if You come to Dallas your gonna let me know ahead of time, right?

If you were smart you would ditch the F-body and buy yourself a Corvette Type R like this one:

I will make sure I mention it on the forum.


And that tyte Corvette type R would be 8's with a turbo.
