Wow congrats!!!

Is that a RMVB trans? How do you keep the IRS alive in that car, do you have better half shafts or poly bushings or stuff like that?

No manual valve body , I put it in drive , come up on the transbrake and let it rip . It's a fully electronic 4L80E built by RPM Transmissions in Indiana with a Rossler transbrake . Stock half shafts , poly bushings , 6 year old Bilstein shocks in the rear .

It's made by GM Racing , it's a very rare piece , GM wouldn't sell them to the public so I started calling Grand Am Cup Corvette teams to find one , my spoiler is the actual spoiler that was used on the 2001 Sunoco Ultra 94 Corvette road race car , owned by Powell motorsports , the guy was really cool , he actually gave me the spoiler , here's a good shot of one on a Grand Am car that's been modified a little .

It has a F.A.S.T stand alone trans controller , the car used to be a stick . Not sure what shift kit is in it , you can call RPM at 1-800-406-1109 . The trans has the best of everything in it .

All those parts are made by a company in Pennsylvania and delivered to the race shops for use on the C5 racecars. I can't remember the name of the company, but the front and rear pieces added some high speed downforce that seemed impossible. Would be interesting to see the fascia on your car at the dragstrip.

I used to live in Florida , raced lots of Supras when the car was just a bolt-on car and heads and cam , beat most of them , there are some fast ones out there .

Congrats Mike! Nice driving too. My heart skipped a beat I think when I saw the car skating around.

Lets work on traction and see how much more we can get out of her
