Fu$%in yikes! He is gonna run the 160 class with me, and if the car actually manages to keep the *** stuck to the ground he may run full class and see what it will really do. New motor in the works - expectng 650hp on pump gas. Car weight aprox 2350lbs

no BS - that car + Bonneville.

he has a bigger pair than me - or anybody I know.
- will be an experience like no other!! GUARANTEED!

car is very similar in size and dimensions to a VW bug - can't wait to see how the other participants react when he drives up.

Will take tons of pics and video - just hope it does not end up as a little wadded up ball of metal skimming across the salt at 160+

I'm bored already guys. Street tire, non R? Then there's no point is there? Just a bunch of spinning until 80+... kinda boring. been there done that thousands of times. Please use something sticky. Lets see these cars take off and not just make smoke going nowhere. Make the acceleration HAPPEN!

(fun mindset, not trying to be rude!)

I am not going to the fest. I would prefer any tire and any fuel, what each car is what it is and should be run however.

I don't know exactly what type of race you are implying 1/4 mile, standing mile? Highway from a role?

The best would be quarter mile at a track. I like Lebanon Valley. I would love to race you on the highway, but I am not going tape it and post it online.

I propose:
93 octane fuel - 20 gallons put in the tank with witnesses
Street tires (NOT R compound)
Mufflers (street legal condition)

I will give you lengths for the weight and my bigger turbo, but you are 2.8, so 5 is all you get.

Man this is going to be sweet just got back online after a car show sunday on my birthday and there is like 6 pages.
