C/P from ausrotary...
First Pass for Sporty tonight
Car ran 7.46 @ 189mph which gives them now both the 13B ET & MPH world record.
Car only ran 1.27 in the 60ft which is why the ET is a little slow for the MPH

 

power of the internet...ah just went all the way to australia to find the video of a record run in PR lol..

Wow! Wonder how much horsepower the little 13B makes? Chrispeed! Do you know anything about the set up?

Sporty rx-7 980rhwp at 43psi.

 

that's fast....

 

damn thats hella boost

 

Always fast and correct numbers, thank you Chrispeed! The FD is it
a Modified or pro car? Weight?

didn't you ever see the picture that LUPE (now VikingWarHammer) posted of the rotor with a hole punched clean through one face as a result of the combustion pressure at 52psi of boost? INSANE.

btw, that video is pretty sweet. Crispeed, do you know any internal specifics? Ernie-T is running in that boost range, isn't he? He's only making 700-750rwhp, so i'm assuming that the drag car has a huge race port or a full bridge and an even more monsterous (i think Ernie-T is running the GT42R with the 102mm wheel) turbo.

 

He may be running a PP

 

looks (and sounds) like that might have taken place in Puerto Rico - the announce is speaking spanish + they love their rotarys there.. anyway SICK video that car is nutz
