Put down the keyboard, noob.

Congrats! These guys are certainly on top of the game. Didn't they make a 6.2 pass at something like 234 as well?

not sure you know what you are talking about.... Please think about what you type...

These drag motors are built at the extreme limit and usually freshened up after a few passes...... Did you ever think that the smoke maybe caused by lots of premix added with the Methanol they use to power the cars ??? This premix is used to help lubricate the motors since they do not run oil metering pumps...

That is your LESSON for the day....Please educate yourself before you come on here making Ludacris statements about how they can get more power by tuning for less smoke.... really shows your knowledge about Rotaries....


good day NOOB

I guess this is one way of getting your post count up by throwing dirt on a team's name that has the fastest 20b powered drag cars out now! Goes to show you how good the rotary really is with having a bad engine & poor tuning

Do you really think at the level they are performing at, they wouldn't realzise issues with their setup? Weather it's engine or tuning! Who in their right minds would risk all the time & money & more money by running a bad setup?!?

I have an idea! You build and tune you're own 6.xx @ 230mph+ Rotary powered drag car, and then you can not only talk all you want, but could also teach/inform us "oil smoking idiots", how it's done right!

You sir are amazingly correct in all your ASSumptions..... so glad you posted and made us all see the light.... I just hope the builders/tuners/drivers of all the 6 sec Rotaries can call you for all your assistance and knowledge....

You should post your number so they can call you and you can let them know what they are doing wrong..... Thank you for being You....

That was in jest, noob.

You realize the New Gen car runs about 8000cc worth of injectors that are run by a Microtech? Idle emissions quality isn't its strong suit. The car doesn't run a cooling system. So they're also running it rich to keep it cool.

As far as you thinking it sounds broken, maybe your speakers or ears are broken?

Regardless, this is the quickest rotary powered car on the planet. The team has reset the record multiple times. New Gen also holds the import ET record with their 2J car. They know a thing or two. If what they're doing doesn't look or sound right to you, you probably need to shift your frame of reference.

Ok let's say the "engine is bad" just not to keep your issue on, why can't you just take your hat off for the rotary/that team? It seems your a piston lover & there is nothing wrong with that, unless your point is to go on rotary forums to discredit them. I never understood people who join forums to discredit things they don't support/like.
