That's about it. We are cool with the Redline guys. I worked for Howard for a while. They are working the bugs out of a new setup. We've had the luxury of ******* with this car for years.
I guess that silences the guys who say that Vikings are not on anything fast.

Made a mistake. Menscer in the rear. Vikings in the front.

He did it with next to no burnout too. When I saw him pull up to the line after such a short burnout in thought maybe it was a licensing pass. LOL

I was standing next to this car in the lanes at PBIR one day....then it moved...I had NO idea it was even running, lol.

It sounds like an electric car in the burnout until the turbos start to sing then you know whats up (I think it had a few mufflers on it).

Truly one of the baddest street cars anywhere.

MWC is glad to be a part of this build!

Just another high performing machine with off the shelf parts. This car just shows what can be done with the right combination of simple parts and working with the right people!

Thanks! Appreciate you getting that hardware right out for the antiroll bar. Look forward to seeing how that helps.

To their defense, that vette has A/C and smaller turbos. It's a badass car. It'll run a 7 if they stay after it. I think one of the turbos let go on their last pass the other day. They also waited too long to get on the track and make their first pass. They missed the stickiest condition out there and then had traction problems (like us) and were forced to turn it way down and try to creep back up on it.
