wurd. i have a cam plus mods in the sig and am only running 103-105mph. i'm also in Ohio...hmm....DarkHorse, what do you think? Maybe our air sucks really bad and that's why our cars are so "slow." i always heard new cobras were high 12 second cars. he ran at 106mph while i was running 104 but never got quicker than a 13.6 in an 04 cobra 'vert. anyways, 118 mph in a bolton car is whack!

I found out last night that a friend of mine has one of this guy's runs on his timeslip...he ran against him in another friend's Trans Am (mostly bolt-ons with a little munchkin cam). I'll post the scanned timeslip later this week when I get a hold of it, but from what he has told me about the run...

The car in question pulled a crappy 2.0 60', was outran in the 1/8th by my friend in the Trans Am, but then the car in question outran my friend on the top end and got his 12.1 @ 118. I'm not real sure how that works (making up for a crappy 60' and being slow according to the 1/8th mile numbers, but ripping *** on the top end)...it makes his story even more unbelievable. Sounding more and more like spray to me.

its called nitrous. It can make up for alot.

I would like to know his 8th mile mph if you can get it.

Sounds like he hit the spray after the 60ft mark or so, probably a 50-75 shot. Like I said earlier, that ET is possible for a bolt on car with all the right mods, suspension work and weight reduction but that MPH is BS for a bolt on car. And that ET along with a 2.0 60???? It would take a killer 60' for a bolt on car to hit that ET, a 1.6 would be more like it.

95Bird

yep..I know that the fastest bolt on cars out there are in the 1.5-1.6 range to get close to that et.

I smell one of two things here....

BS or N20

well at least he fessed up. Who is the other "tuner" he is talking aobut that is claiming a NA record while purging at the line.

Type_O_Negative_1320

He's talking about LT1Dave, who didn't spray when he ran his best time. Dave ran his time because the DA that day was -1200. After he made the N/A pass (10.76 @ 131.x), he pulled back around, purged, sprayed off the line and exploded his opti 60' out...end of the day for him after that.

Basically, he went from trapping 127-128 MPH in +2000 DA weather all season long to trapping 131.x in -1200 DA weather. It's also the day when Jared (atljar) ran his 11.98 when his previous best was a 12.4x (note that he removed his sway bar and added skinnies that day, but those don't add up to a 0.5 second difference).

what I would like to know is why the shop that built the car was very obviously trying to claim that it was a bolt on only car.

GREGG 97Z

I don't know but I'd steer clear of them if I was in that area if that's the kind of bs claims about their work they're trying to pull.

Just a small 150 shot??? OMG
