God Dang!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just once I would love to have a car like that on the street and when some punky moron pulls up in his "insert boy racer car name here", just let him get ahead by about 10 lengths and then HIT IT!!!! Blow by him like he just slammed it into reverse!!


Side note:

KVA, I think his 60' time of 1.44 is only OK. I'm not familiar with his car but it didn't appear to be mini-tubbed. With that and some Mickey Thompson ET's he should be able to go lower. But then again he is more than likely running in a class that does not allow that. With a 1.44 60' and a 8.97 1/4, he is obviously low on the boost at the line. If not he would probably only set the record for the worlds most spectacular burnout. But that boost must come on like hellfire by half-track. Compared to some domestic V-8's with nitrous, running a 1.44 60' more times than not results in 1/4's closer to 10!

Don't you know street racing is dangerous and illegal?

Mkorsu, you sound like you know what you are talking about.
What makes his car "spit fire" from the exhaust?

Yeah, I only sound that way! Sounding like it and actually being it are 2 different things!

But as for the flame out the exhaust. Should be unburnt fuel going throught the exhaust. I'm sure he's got all sorts of electronic goodies in there to run the fuel system in conjunction with the turbo, but I'm definately NOT a turbo guru. I'm still in the beginning stages of learning the finer points of turbocharging. But this is something that is more common to a turbo'd car than a N/A one.
