Now this is what I am talking about.... A bit of a tease though....

I believe the worlds fastest MB is 10.2 @ 137 so its close to a 9 for sure...
Damn if you got a 9 in that crap DA.... well.... HOLY ***** I cant wait to see what it does at MIR.


Well lets see it...

Now that is no joke.

Heat is the Enemy of a supercharger, especially when the temp is above 90F. As you will surley run with lower boost. (that doesnt show when correcting DA)

take it to MIR this november, this beast will go below 9.7

Congrats Earl, That's an awesome trap speed. Are you planning on running the car up in San Fran? Give me something to shoot for, I am running at Byron next Saturday, try to get your car shipped here, Byron has been real fast the past two weeks, it might not be MIR but it's faster than anything out west or down near your home in Florida this time of year.

The lane beside me did not shut down early. Look at the speed differential in the 1/8 as other car was already being reeled in and his foot was in it through the traps.

I will see about Byron. Let me know when you are picking up your car and maybe we can send them both out.

Congrats Earl. Simply amazing to take that record in that DA.

+3700 DA going by the calcs. 10.021 @ 147.333 MPH Corrected.

I am sure you will get into the 9's at MIR.
