So the TT car ran 11.27 that's pretty good, how much does the car weigh now without all the extra stock parts? Any videos?

I think he still has the 60' record for the E55 at a crazy 1.49 sec

JONCL is busy at the moment, but he asked me to fill in


<JONCL>
11.2? My grandmas Buick does 11.2 stock! And she is not a very good driver since the hip replacement. And 129 trap. Like SAC, I doubt it. Probably a bird flew by and thew off the reading

So continue with my last post: What left inside? Did you strip the radio and AC yet? Im sure you did. All sound deading removed too? What else?

We still don't have a dyno or any videos other that a slow roll to 40.

When you post dynos and a time that is better than 11.2 (everyone does 11.2) Strike that: Better than your PB on Blower... then maybe Ill shut up, but don't count on it!
</JONCL>


Thanks

Congrats man, good to see you progress through the build and shut up all the haters.... Or at least quiet them down. It's disappointing to see so much trash being thrown your way for doing something out of the box and be a pioneer, says a lot about some people in this scene.
