It was Gary's first time in this super fast car.
It was terrible heat and the car was on NOS. It out trapped stage 5 55's by 7 mph and hung with a modded 2008 Z06.

He was using Nitto's but they were old 4 plus years.. His 60 ft was 1.95-2.2 so there was some room for improvement.
for perspective the Stage 5 E55 was hitting 11.90's@118, so yeah I think the Evosport car has some real promise this fall/winter

i witnessed that 11.4 run, and boy was it hot that day. Still, anyone can add nitrous to their cars, and get ridiculous numbers like that. The day I see a non-nos 55 get to those trap speeds, I will be impressed. To me, its all about consistency, and with nitrous, its only going to last so long, until you have to go get more nos. LOL

Actually I wasn't trying to brag on Havoc's car so much as trying to show respect for the 126 MPH trap speed. My modified SL55 has yet to trap 119 MPH. It would take another 150 horsepower or so to reach a trap speed of 126 MPH which means either NOS or a real serious set of mods along the lines of what Victor and Vadim are doing for Havoc's car.

This is the best industry, recession proof. LOL,
This SL is super fast and it would do 130 with a nice cool day say 55 degrees.
Like I said that 126 seemed crazy for the condition, NOS mitigates heat, and definately added as much as 7-8 mph
