Check this thing out. I have personally driven this car and it is quite a machine. The owner has moved on to a new platform.

Very impressive car,indeed. I remember him at autocross.It seemed very difficult to control all that power.He would touch the gas and the tires would spin. Fun,but not good for times. Could a car actually have too much power? Naah! :wink: Wonder what the car would do on track...consume lots of fuel and tarrs or sure!

750 wheel hp and he ran an 10.64 second quarter mile at 130mph? I guess I don't have a feel for drag race times.

If the car is not specifically set up for drag racing,to take full advantage of weight transfer,with a proper set of drag racing slicks,with the drivetrain/suspension optimized for running a 1/4 mile,then it will be very difficult to use that 750whp. to its full potential.

I think it also said the car ran the 1/4 mile time on 10 psi only; the dyno results are at 16 psi.
If it still has the IRS I would think he is limited on what he can do for 1/4 mile; those half shafts won't like 1.2 60 foot times!

Pretty impressive car. Tough economy/time to be selling.

Who knows? It took less than a month to sell mine. I was half expecting that I'd still be running the car at events even now, but I'm really glad it is gone.
