I'd like to see that. I'd be willing to run his car when its finished too. I have a feeling there isn't going to be much left of that car with it running 55psi with spray at 10-11k rpms. If he misses a shift..i know what'll happen.

The facts we know about the car are that it should pull 1500RWHP at 45PSI off bottle. He plans to run it to 55PSI with bottle. Also, full boost should hit in the mid 5000 RPM range, and his rev limiter is set at 10,500. This should undoubtedly be the fastest street supra in the world, if not one of the fastest street cars in the world.

Josh,

I didn't build it to run the quarter mile. Its fun and everything..but I've broke too many rearends and driveshafts to want to take it out.

You know the spot where we go on sundays...i'll bring it out one of these weekends.

later,
Dave

Most of the time..when i'm alone I run on the I-15 south between Blue Diamond Road and St. Rose Parkway. Its 7 miles with no on ramps between and no places NHP can hide.

I've had the car going 214.8mph about 4 months ago, via GPS.

Have you ever sucked in an unsuspected bystander in on acceleration with that freakin massive turbo?

AMG,

LOL...no thats never happened. I have hit like 4 or 5 birds that can't get out of the way fast enough. Also, the only time a guy would say, "my wife was gone..." would be because she hopped in the car. LOL j/k
