Thanks for all the kind words. It really feels good as this was much harder then I thought. Getting it down with IRS and 8.5" tires was a mission. The window of traction is so small it will drive you mad trying to get a decent run
I'm on the way home. I'll try to get videos up tonite. Its Been a very long day.

Nice Enzo! Also like watching that rear stay planted all the way. Looked like an auto car.

Got to get your crew more excited though. When you watch a video of the PR boys breaking a record they go CRAZY!

Looks like it bogged down on the launch or you eased out. Was that intentional so that you wouldn't blow the tires? I see an easy 8.50+ in her.

congratulations Enzo!

our little 2 rotors sure can be deadly if properly built fixtured and tuned and your time is proof.

the amount of squat on launch is amazing. the rear must be either at coil bind or on the rubber shock snubbers... given all the stock camber gain on bump it sure digs doing 1.385 in the 60. (of course there are ways to deal w the camber issue)

what an amazing time... really fast shifting too.

Hey Aaron, I don't mind you posting pics of my car with your logo on it thats cool
BUT I DO HAVE A PROBLEM!!!!

Your logo " Insane Rotaries" carry's a flag of many different country's. (USA, P.R., Aust, JPN)
Why no Italian Flag? What's up with that? Come on man! Is my car not insane enough?

I took care of my camber issues..
I've gone 1.28 60fts before...
Getting the right balance with the IRS is very difficult..
Don't allow it to squat and it instantly spins the tires. Soften it up and it seems to help but then you have to find the balance between bogging/spinning and the window is very small.. 8.5" slicks doesn't help either..
