according to the calcs it saying at that weight your pushing 450whp, has there been any changes since you had it on the dyno?
With a perfect launch its also saying you could run a high 10, which when i factor the details for another car in the uk thats lighter than yours and is 470whp, the calcs are spot on

I'm planning on beefing up the rear end by summer. Been looking at all the possible kits and parts. I wanna try to put a viper diff in the rear. hmmmmmm, we will see. Also i'm gonna turn it up soon to see what she can do. I got more videos i will post shortly.
Catch22 did awesome as well. 12.5@125mph. His first pass he spun all the way thru 4th. He parked the car and said his clutch was gone.. hahahahaha. It was just that he was spinning on the big end.
Man this summer is gonna be nice. Thanks for looking fellas.
And RX7 SE showed up with his nicely done FC. Cool guy, he was the camera man that day. lol. Thanks Anthony

DO you still have the stock torsen diff? The spiders let go on mine the second trip down the strip. About 60 foot out it wheel hopped and went boom. I had waited over a month for it to show up to Hawaii at the time too.
Went from the port, to the Hilo drag strip, to the tow truck flat bed, to my house in Kona Thanks AAA.
Are you going to the next tune session? Is it Friday?

Yup, stock diff. Whines like a *****. Lol. A few runs it tried wheel hopping
And I immediately let off. I dropped the air in the tires to 18psi and that did wonders.
Catch22 wouldn't drive the car cause he said my diff is a time bomb. I know
Some chasis builders and good welders that I'm gonna talk to real soon. I'm really liking
The overall feel of the car, and now I would like to see a 10 second pass.

Vid is of catch22 spinning the entire track. He parked the car after that run saying his clutch went out. Actually the track wasnt prepped and he was just spinning each gear.
Hell i was spinning fourth gear at the big end of the track.

Also i didnt even know you where passing me, i thought you were fish tailing. When we turned i saw you, then two seconds later i heard you and seen you on my left... CRAZY.. I had to play catch up then. lol.
But i had lots of fun... The nice back roads in Mooresville were super nice. You guys have more guts than me. I take things slow and easy. lol.

Hey Drew, they couldnt believe me when i said ur car is actually faster than mine. I gave two joy rides and the expressions were worth a million bucks..

If you guys want to see what your cars can really do, get on the road course event at Charlotte motor speedway in Mid April with me.

April 19th is the event. I just looked at the NASA page and they are only running HPDE 3&4 at the event. Which is the solo driving and advanced drivers. I am signed off on on SCCA but have never done a NASA event yet. So I don't thiink they would let me run solo directly at first.
I don't know what your track level is. If you don't mind a road trip, I also do a couple track days at Road Atlanta each year as well. With the SCCA it is 100 bucks for 2-3 20 minutes sessions with a instructor if needed. NASA is about 300 for 2 days of track fun. JUNE 18th is the next RA track day with NASA.
