10.62 @ 133.70 - New CL65 record!

Decided to go a little further with my car.

Added Renntech's new Ram Air system and hi-flow exhaust with 200 cell cats.

Just returned from PBIR.

The results:

60' - 1.682
330' - 4.591
1/8 - 6.917
MPH - 106.19
1000 - 8.928
1/4 - 10.620
MPH - 133.70

The car pulls like a freight train. Thanks to Hartmut and all the guys at Renntech.

Looks like you got the overall 2 spot for ET, numero uno for trap and bumped the previous poster. Congrats also!

If I can only get someone to custom tune my car with 18psi, then I might be able to join the party...I think I need a lil vacation in Florida to pay Harmut a visit.

Bumped for now... That #1 spot will be mine very soon

You can try Renntech to tune your car but I dont think they will take on a custom car as modified as yours

Thanks. I knew you were kidding.

Can't even imagine the tracks being closed due to cold weather down here. We pray for cold nights, and stay away from the track when it's too hot.

I wish you the best with your car when the track thaws out.

Great run! Man, I would love to hook up my N20 setup to that beast. Would probably run 10.0 or so. Get that 60' down a little and you will easily beat my 10.58. May have to get a new car soon. Love Renntech too!

How many "what you got in that thing" do you get at the strip. I'm sure you blow everybody's mind that is not familiar with your car.

Thanks guys.

The Mustang Cobra I raced in the video ran 11.17 @ 131 and the owner could not believe he had to stare at my bumper going through the traps.

I lot of surprised people at track, including me.

Thanks Marko.

624 was before the Ram Air and high flow exhaust.

The scary part is I think you can run even better times with a harder launch! I'm very impressed by this car.

Your worst nightmare...
Big Congrats Steve! Your car is a monster. Looks like the exhaust and the LSD definitely make a nice combo for these numbers. Aside from the ram air and the exhaust any other type of work done to the car?

Nothing like a 4600lb whale trapping 133
