With the kinda AWHP and AUC you guys put down in that thing you should be doing MUCH better than a 9.0@161mph... either you guys were takin' it REALLY easy or the track was nasty/slick as hell.. or both*

...my fearless prediction is solid 8's very soon..

I think it's a combination of two things:

1. The track was really nasty
2. Running 8's in a 3900 lb car is really freaking difficult

Scott can you drive easy at the streets as the GT-R had 700 WHP ? can you go to movie,work or do any kind of stuff with 1248 WHP every day any day ?

Ferrrrocious. wow.

Were those drag radials on the car for that dragstrip run? If they were and they were slipping like that then what chance do street tires have on a highway? I understand you've had fast cars before but I think you may want to get familiar with this beast before unleashing it. lol, maybe there is such a thing as "too much power".

I'll be driving the car on the streets on 93 octane or 100 octane, so somewhere between 825 -1000 awhp or so. With R888s, it will be extremely driveable.

Yes, those are drag radials...and I'll be running 20" R888 r-compounds on the street at a lower power 99% of the time. The only time I'll run full power on the street would probably be during TX2K week.

Bolt-OnM3 is infamous around these parts
Amazing car Scott, all the wait seems to be paying off.
Most historic build on 6speed in recent history.
