yeah that's 9s in the 1/4, not the 1/8th. I've been asking around and apparently this guy's half track run was in the 9s. . . I was out at the track last night running the car, and watched a lift-off body corvette with an all motor 521 run 10.30 something and he only blipped the throttle 3 times! That car was amazing. My best of the night was an 9.20 (stupid heat, stupid lack of traction) so looks like things are slowing down for the summer.
Doesnt heat=more traction?
and
Cold=More HP

This was definately brought up. I was thinking about going to a bigger motor and a single turbo set up . . . make it a killer street machine. . . buuuuuuuuuuuuut I don't know.

DAMN...LOL Did he retire the Legend?....Hell man i give you props for posting it.....Most guys would have never admitted they got beaten.....That along says enough.....I'm sure he had major **** done to his ride.

Runs middle 8s at the track. . . factoring in different things I'd say its about a 9 second car on the streest. Might go 8s on the street who knows. . . on a good prepped, straight, flat road in decent weather the car hooks pretty good and the tires come up pretty easy. The car transfers weight better than anything I usually see out here, and the only car I have that hooks as good is the chevelle. On the street the front wheels get about a foot and a half in the air, and at the track grabbing everything out of the hole I ALMOST got it up on the back bumper but let out of it becuase all I could see was air. . . scared the bejesus out of me.

But to answer your question - it's simple. . . point, shoot and hold the **** on!
lol I like that last part...but what is ur suspension setup and what tires do u suggest 2 get maximum grip like that?
