Congrats to AMS. I'm glad they're finally able to keep that thing some what straight down the 1/4.

I guess those "shake down" passes helped a little.

I don't know, to me its just not as fun without the hard violent launches with the wheels in the air. The car bouncing off the line and having to steer the car back and forth down a drag strip seems kind of strange.

The car hauls *** no doubt, just seems like a bad platform to drag race with in the first place.

Yup, I was thinking the same thing during both runs...looks out of place to me, but then again 9.2 is pretty hard to argue with.

You ever see the other runs they did? that car was all over the track...damn near bounced of the walls

RWD cars will always hold the upperhand in drag racing, but us AWD guys need to have fun too, lol

Yep, it was pretty damn scary. I don't think I would have had the stones to get back on it like he did.

That is a mean car. I thought it was going to run 8's. Well, I'm sure it will in a few weeks, they are still playing with it. I wonder if they should put some line locks on it. Warm the rear tires, switch to the other line lock and warm the fronts. It might help, but most of all it would look funny as hell.

Oh yeah, in consideration of the last thread with the AMS evo, IB4TL bitches

Line locks wouldnt work unless they could switch the transfer case from front wheel drive to rear wheel drive.

I didn't think it would work, but it would be funny as hell to see a car burn the rears, then the fronts. I have that picture in my mind and I can't stop smiling.

Looks like they are getting it under control. Grats to them. If they dont get some mid eights out of it, id be really suprised. 1000hp and 9.2...
