Congrats Mark- it's awesome to see the potential of this platform. Almost makes me second guess trading my 2016 for my 2017.

The Vbox is proving to be pretty damn accurate from the accounts I see here. Much more accurate than extrapolation calculators.

The really exciting part is the Car has got even more in it stay tuned.

Thanks again Sam for all your help and the team at COBB.
Simply amazing. What tires are you using?

Wow, it's really unbelievable how fast these cars are. Congrat Mark. That may be a world record. This is a great example of why I'll only race totally stock cars with the 488. The first time I took my new 458 to the half mile event, I got beat by a BMW 335i. He love it! Me, not so much.

I'm sure the 17's will be a little bit quicker eventually, at a minimum they will have a better launch control programming

Thanks Arnie, the guys over a cross the pond I think ran a 9.50ish but there a full on race shop, I think they did a few things to that car, they also have better track prep I think they cut a 1.30 something 60ft.

I too got beat by a red 330 bmw he ran 180 mph I will be looking for him this next event

Hello Mark,

Congrats!!!

Now that's getting with the 1/4 mile program.

Just think, all else being equal, I think a 1.47 60' would have netted you a 9.55 or so pass...that night!!!

Cooler temps, better track prep and more practice should drop you in the 9.50 range or lower.

Anyhoot, congrats on your great runs.

Thanks,
E-Gear

Extremely impressive that u did this on pump gas plus meth! Just goes to show how well meth can work. Must be dialed in perfectly.

Incredible run. Sounds like I need to give Sam a call.

Looks like you are in the SF Bay Area also, would love to see your car in person sometime.

Thanks E Gear,
the car flat moves out, we are on the same page Im thinking its the worst part of the year and it only can get quicker from here. Ive walked on tracks that will rip your sneakers off, this track was prepped for the $20 test and tune night that it was. Cooler temps are only a few months away. Cheers and good luck on your times.

Adam The Tune is really dialed in well, I only made a couple passes on the DR's so I am still working on the best launch procedure/tires Pressure etc. She's got some faster times in her
