We FINALLY broke into the 9s... After about two months of 10.dohs it happened!!!!! 9.86@137mph!!!! Big congrats goes out to Magnum-GTO for his consistent driving and dedication to the sport... Magnum (Jan) is 71 yrs old and spends almost every weekend at the track. Its absolutely AWESOME to see a 3720lb street car click off a 9 second pass and then see Jan get out of the driver seat

Jans GTO is an EXTREMELY streetable build. With the exception of the big/littles on all four corners it looks/sounds almost 100% stock. Exhaust flows thru a STOCK OE catback until the DMH Dual Electric Cutouts are opened up.

Here is a video from a pass a few weeks before. Unfortunately I wasnt at the track to catch the 9.86 run this past weekend. This video shows how mild the GTO really is....

Congrats again, Jan!!!!

Saw it in person, and it was impressive! You and Mick certainly stood the track officials on their ears!!!!

magnum-gto

Thanks.....I had to laugh because they classified our car as a "C" class.
After the first pass, they re-classified the car as a "B" AND said we would have to run no faster than 10.00

I think they mis-judged the car pretty badly.

The trans is a RPM 4L65E and we have Hendrix Engineering 2nd generation half shafts
and CVs.

9 second pass on a 2.3 60'!!! Damn....

magnum-gto

The shafts are 1 3/8" diameter vs the originals at 1 1/8" dia. The CVs
are beefier also. The originals lasted really well...over a year, but
when we snapped a shaft at the LSX Shootout...we opted for the
upgrade.

magnum-gto

Thanks!
Yes it's taken awhile to work up enough nerve to go that fast.

magnum-gto

Yep...That's us!

magnum-gto

Thanks....You're making good progress too!....I've been watching.
