No I think he's calling his own car brotha, personification. I'm just going off his profile pic being the same car as his post, as well as the YouTube account being the same name.

*shuffles through cue cards*
You know the car isn't alive right?

But cars are also traditionally named after women. So it'd be like... "congrats sista!", if it were like that..

@hpV12 That's what I thought too... same with ships, etc.

@pimpjuice, is there someone else on here that has the same wheels and blacked out badging? Maybe they're not from the forum? Who knows.

Must have been a hell of a 60ft to run 10.6 at "only" 128. There are plenty of guys in south Florida ready to do what it takes to run a number so I am sure there are several cars down there that with the right stuff could make it happen.

And for all you people who seem to be confused, Redbulljnky's car is not the one being talked about in this thread because like it was said, he ran a 10 long ago when he brough his car up to MIR last year. His car is then currently down getting the twin turbo setup so that should make it doubly obvious it isn't his car he is talking about.

Def not my car! Hopefully the owner will post up soon. But he had a best of 5 runs and a best of 1.60 60ft. It is a Eurocharged tuned car though. Congrats to Jerry as well!

Only 1.60, that is pretty good doing that ET, must have been moving the first part of the track. Guess the car was lightened up a good bit ha?

This place is a joke.
Running those times in FL weather, on a stock supercharger would be very impressive and hard to grasp. My guess would be a whipple and/or nitrous. Or no interior lol.

My guess is no interior (among other things possibly like exhaust) and some spray. Especially considering that the weather down there is not cold in the slightest bit now, hell it is only 76 out now at midnight.

It's member 305-E55. He also ran 10.9 @ 130, 10.7 @ 130.

He has a very long mod list and is at full weight.
