This is to prove what a complete douche EREBUS is...


By accident I was talking to my buddy from Florida and he mentioned the 1/2 mile event...well holy crap here is the proof I needed and hopefully Kevin (centerline) can find an event and prove it. Keep in mind that I say that Kevin will possibly beat my 10.51 ctsv from 120-160 or 170. So, to kinda compare apples to apples here goes it...My buddy's CTSV went 10.72 at 131.09 mph and did the 1/2 mile at 158.6452 mph and I am telling everyone that from 120-160mph he will be FASTER then this car I am comparing! I think it proves that the VBOX works probably almost as good as EREBUS' mothers BOX!

Hey brotha, do you know which event he was at? Trying to figure weather conditions into the equation. I know a lot of local V 's that have run both the 1/4 and 1/2 mile at various HP levels here in GA.

Is the September event full already? If you have a spot for me I'll bring the Shelby down and see what it can do.

As for the 160+ in the half I don't see why people (Erebus) find it so hard to believe. I have ZERO doubt my car would of been at or over 160 in the 1/2 the way it pulled up top and several other cars that were trapping like mine would be right there also. Problem is there's pretty much no 1/2 events for 99% of us to go to. Ahmad's car would blow the 160 away with almost running 144 in the 1/4.

It's not full bro, I will post on here a day or so before tickets go on sale. It is definitely worth the trip. There was a 800rwhp + Shelby at our last event in May, it went 16xmph I believe. The DA and humidity kills traps high up in the GA mountains lol.

Everyone thinks their cars have issues since they expected so much more

Sounds good. I'm right at 800rwhp so hopefully I'll get into the 160's.

Maybe you have the chance to run your car with V-Box 0-1000 M on a even road. Then we can compare with GAD-Motors E63, which was 180 MPH!!

Good Luck!

Jesus Christ, speed racers......you have had years to run the 1/2 mile or mile and now it sounds like something you should do after being called out? No sh*t? I've got that tingly feeling about this, kids. Some of you are about to put your big boy pants on and do something other than assume. So you are going to bring your sh*t to the race and prove the M113K IS STILL A MONSTER? No, please don't do that.

Proving me wrong only helps our platform. Because as of yet.....we have no proof that it can be done. I need a reason to believe. I'm close to giving up. And If some of you f**ktards can give me some hope...I will thank you ahead of time. Bring it.

I here you. It is certainly an "event" just to get there and back. If I can find someone to make the trip there with there car I would go for it. Spend a couple days there and then run it home! Of course with a few 180+ time slips.

I feel bad for attacking you. I apologize. Your helmet and fist full of crayons must make it hard for you to post? Looking forward to your future posts, 60nomad. This is going to be a bumpy ride, bro. Hold on tight. lol

As for the M113k not being able to do 160 in the 1/2? Hmm I trapped 143.5 in the 1/4 and 60 to 130 in 5.6 seconds on my first day of tuning so 160 should be more than doable. RBJ has turbos so it will keep pulling like a freight train!
With your weight of the prepped CLK and his none parasitic turbos.......I hope so? That's the point to my posts. All talk and only ASSumptions with no results in the 1/2 or mile. M113K needs to prove doubters wrong. (Have we yet had a Mercedes break 200 mph, officially, in the mile?) We are but a small group of individuals who are willing to spend thousands on our rare platform. Kinda cool ,in a way, not to follow the crowd. That's who we are.

That data is good, and it shows how running at sea level makes a massive difference compared to running in the GA mountains. He could possibly hit 160mph in the 1/2, but not at the GA event.
