all these hatchs weight is 2400, at each event. far from 1800, 1800 would be tube chassis setup…

oh sorry buddy this is no RWD its FWD…on a 24.5"X 9" tire. Very impressive to run 8’s on a small tire like that.

Im just saying, at 2400 lbs its not impressive to me. Just my personal opinion. I watch 4800 lb jeeps with a 275/50/17 drag radial run 9.4’s at 155. Thats an impressive feat. Same with that trail blazer SS out there going 9.0’s and dragging the back bumper.

I think any car that can run 10, 9 , and 8 sec 1/4 is fast.

your talking double some times triple the size motor + turbo. You expect thoes # to pop up on a RWD. More engine more weight

They run the same 76mm turbos you guys do. Ive seen quite a few fast hondas with huge turbos on them.

The domestics have double the displacement though… id say its easier for them to make the power and run the time… Even if they weigh 5k lbs.

Who gives a fuck about domestics and how  
much they weigh…

Erics car is badass no doubt, but it ran a 9.95@145(correct me)? Wouldn’t you make a goal of say 9.5 instead of running a 8 sec pass? That’s just me…

I wanna place a wager on the 8 sec pass…

With Erics new trans, rear end, not having to shift 5th and more power the car can go 8s. Getting enough runs to do so is another story

Napierville\>LVD, ESP for guys like me and Eric that are further north. No idea why anyone would put countless hours into a car only to fart around with running at LVD and getting one pass then the boot.

why would he put such a high gear ratio in a big turbo car? those 3.73’s are going to kill his spool time, cause it gives the motor less load.
