Default Ken's STS/Cartek GTO running 10.68@129.81MPH

Here is Ken's 10.68 @ 129.81 video run. I love the side view videos so much better: Video here:

The Car is running Cartek's heads, turbo cam, dished forged pistons, stock CID, tuning, STS kit with the 67 turbo running on pump gas and methanol injection

That car hooked good. Is it still running the stock rear? That was a perfect 1/4mile run.

What gas? That has to be one of the most impressive examples of an STS setup.

the mods were listed in another thread, no mention of meth, i believe its straight pump gas at 13 psi if i'm not mistaken.

They're going for 9's now, that shouldn't be too far off from now.

Pretty cool stuff really...specially for a slug weight GTO

Any idea on the race weight.

no offense to anyone who likes the GTO, but is it me or does it look like a honda coming off the line? i hate that. if they can get it to move out like a Vette, it would be 10 times better looking at the track. jmo.

Yeah, you're right. Brents stock motor car with a built trans did get a better ET(by .006) than the built motor car with a slipping stock trans and worse traction in the 60' the same day. (BTW it was 11.092@122mph vs. 11.098@127mph)

Brent's car has raced at Atco as well. Last time I checked it did not go 10.6@129

Let's get realistic. They are BOTH extremely impressive in their own right, so lets not just try to constantly make one car try to sound "better" than the other. I'd be willing to bet that both owners of these cars don't appreciate the way a bunch of people have been trying to compare them.

P.S. who the hell cares if one car had skinnies. Like it's gonna make much of a difference when the damn cars weigh like 4000 pounds LOL

No dude, skinnies alone chop off 4 tenths easy.
