^Im willing to bet its mini tubbed. Which some consider to be "stock chassis" since the frame rails have not been cut. I'm not trying to take anything away from them because the car is amazing. But it's really not a stock chassis car.

Only a 1.30 60 ft? That's pretty good for a stock chassis. Everyone has their own opinion on what's a stock chassis. In my book a stock chassis car is uncut and has all the factory suspension mounting points. I doubt this car is running the watts linkage? Regardless, awesome car and awesome run! Congrats

This is my cousin twin turbo FD that ran 8.39 but I didn't get the video. Here is the run with no 5th gear against Poncho rx2 with a 1.40 60'

The car qualify for the importfaceoff stock chassis class so it doesn't matter what you think. The PR got a pass claiming the stock chassis title with a 1/2 chassis T2. This is why I don't post too much on this thread cause people like you that don't contribute to the rotary community rather than bashing. With all your knowlege do have have any fast rotary or you're just a keyboard warrior?

Calm down buddy. I never bashed or attacked you or the car. Your just being defensive because you have an atatchment to the car. These days the term "stock chassis" is thrown around with many meanings. Hence another persons question asking how did you fit such a big tire... That's because most people consider a true stock chassis car to be uncut, same as Jay stated above. I believe this as well.

Let me ask you this. If someone came along and beat Kilo's famous stock chassis 13b record and the car was found to be mini-tubbed... Would the new record be honored? Highly unlikely.

I am not attacking you or the car. I was originally answering a question that was asked about how to fit that much tire. And as for myself, I have contributed many hours to helping people on here, other rotary forums and in my local area. I have never bashed anyone at all. And yes, I have had my share of fast cars. As of right now my Rx2 is damn quick, but on road course/auto-x track. My drag car is in my garage, a stock chassis 85 that will be something serious when completed. Over half way done now. I am a national certified welder and machinist and put these skills to work every day. I also have certifications in many areas of mechanics and engine building. I have never had anything done to any of my cars in which I did not directly design, fabricate, install, and build it myself. I am not bragging at all, but letting you know I am not some key board punk kid.

Stock Chassis Not!

Us that know better can clearly see, It will fall under a "mini tub", If NHRA Import or NOPI was still around, You would not make it pass tech with this "stock chassis" and will be forced to race in the modified class.

The real definition of stock chassis is, Wheel tubs "MUST" be left untouched, meaning no cutting, no welding, no modification whatsoever.

The car is looking great and am sure it will drop more time, congrats.

It's called stock chassis. I consider that framerails. But that is just me.

I looked under the car and it had the stock rails with a notch.
