A video of a rear mount twin turbo vette (yellow one) that we built this winter (his first time at the track , got kicked out after this pass) , it was taken with a camera so he couldn’t zoom in on the time , but you can get an idea of how fast it is from the video .[c](http://kc)It spins almost all the way down the track on the 10.5 Mickey Thompson slicks , it is tough to run this down the track especially with the standard trans but this is the way he wanted to do it , takes more balls than I have , lol . This was at 11.5 psi boost , we just ordered the bars to fab up a roll cage this week so we can be a little bit safer next time out , even though the 6 point cage still won’t be legal , but hopefully the local track will let us run with it for now on low boost because I don’t think he wants to do more than a 6 point cage in this car . By the way , this is a real street car that passed inspection a few weeks ago !

10.1 @ 142 on this pass , 1.58 60 foot time , he let off about 100 ft before he crossed because he was nervous (feeling out the car) . He also ran a 6.7 @ 113 in the 1/8 before this and coasted to a 10.9 1/4 ET @ 98 . First time at the track and he was just feeling out the car before we put a roll cage in it .

more specs? stock everything on motor? cost of total build? supporting mods? size of turbos? dyno numbers?

not that i can afford anything like this or plan on it, just curious what it takes to make something like that and at the same time have it be reliable enough to feel confident driving it to and from the track…and the lack of details for such a sexy build leaves me wanting to know more!

I don’t know why, but I couldn’t stop laughing after I read that. Pure fucking insanity. It’s so scary fast that it’s actually funny.

Nice work, that’s extremely impressive!

You’re welcome.

I had a chance to ride in the car with the 800hp break in tune… lol

It is a feeling that is rather uncomfortable. I am used to the front end of a car coming up but when you feel the back end lifting due to the slicks swelling and spinning, the asshole pucker factor is huge.

i heard he lifted them too.

and FTR the car made 1,00x RWHP with 15 psi. he has a build thread on vette forums ill find the link later. the 10.1 was only at 11.5 psi as mike said :lolham:.:bowrofl: . i rode in this car on the street at 15psi, traction was non existent to say the least. and yea stry is the fuckin man, i cant wait to see this thing all nice and dialed in with bigger tires and moooaarrr boots.
