Very nice beautiful car man. I saw it at bowling green. I ran a best of 11.37 on motor that weekend and just bought a nitrous kit. Cant wait to see what mine will do on a 100 shot.

Cool .... thanks. I know you are narrowed and, being a 'Bird, have a larger wheel well than mine, so I won't be running a 13.5's, but it's good to know what actual tires are getting into the 10's with rwhp in the low 500's. Hooking with 500rwt is going my curiosity.

Hawk,

Congrats on your 10.8's the car looked great and the in car video showing you banging those gears while making your way down the track sure looked fun! It was a fun weekend for sure until the rain came and they started talking about the bad weather coming in Sunday afternoon.

I believe your appointed video person was surprised the Hawk left the line nose up on that first run!!

Great runs and awesome videos. What do you have for suspension and at what rpm are you launching? I cannot get my m6 to 60' to save my life

Iv got a set of QA1 Rs up front and a set of Strange singles in the rear. I really don't care for the rears..I cannot tell how many clicks I'm getting out of them. Someday I'll get some advise Durham I get serious lol. The rest is just UMI parts..I side step it at 6500 or so and start banging gears! Nothing real crazy..just kinda budget parts we made work!

Congrats on 10s! Your car seems to stay pretty straight on launch, what rear swaybar do you have on the car?
