k, so total mods on the car are what?
List:
Seriously, for those mods, something is going wrong.
List:
- Drag Radials
- 200 Shot (Wet)
- Stand alone fuel system with Race Gas
- Slightly larger Cam Shaft (Factory provisions still)
- Cold Air Kit
- Full exhaust (Definitely some weight saved... Mid length Heads, No cats, Borla XR-1's)
- Owens Tuning
- 586 rwhp
- Scaled weight??

Apparently here is all the answers.
I'm not real sure what people are comparing this car to saying it does not add up. I talked to Owen about the car today. It made 43x NA with mid length G8 headers, cold air, stall, cam, and exhaust. With a 150 shot it made 588rwhp. I do not remember the NA time. Raceweight was 41xx lbs. The DA has got to be way up there considering the heat.
It has MT DR's on the back. Some time is being given up due to the window switch needing some adjustment to turn back on faster after the shifts. It also only cut a 1.7 60' b/c the progressive controller could stand to be turned up a little.
People out there speculating over the internet should feel pretty stupid IMO. It all adds up, and you are speculating with very little/wrong information.
It trapped slightly less than Hennesey's blown camaro with 30rwhp more on the dyno. Probably a good 2 seconds worth of that run is being done with 430rwhp. It all adds up. It is just a little hard to work the bugs out when you get kicked out on your first decent pass.
So, in summary, HCC is offering basic math courses, and these cars are pretty damn heavy.

The shop did a great job with the car...
For all of you complaining about it being slow.... Note the title.. WORLDS FASTEST 2010 SS.....
It is a heavy car, and for it being just the beginning of the knowledge on these cars, that is one hell of a pass....
But now Owen knows what it needs, and knows what needs to be done.. I am sure he will be showing us faster times in the future!

I am sure there is more in it. The car is heavy, which certainly works against it. Surely there are some opportunities for improvement there. Aside from that, this car was really not designed for drag strip superiority from the factory. The aftermarket will prevail though and we will see some more impressive numbers from this platform in the coming months I am sure.

I am sure it is heavy and has more in it but as it stands it won't run with my 04 4880lb. SSR with pump gas running on wore out drag radials , Then again as far as I know I have the fastest pump gas LS SSR there is right now

The vid.
After watching it and reading more, the car should have probably done MUCH MUCH better. If LMR could get one to go 12.50 on a CAI and Tune....this one should do much better.

I hope this is not the video where they say, "Owen said, [**** LMR's 13's]"
Definitely not classy on a shops part to make some kind of rivalry/war between the two.

Gray, quit being an idiot. go back to the thread in the TX section and look at who originally posted the video. It's not Owen or anybody from A.R.D. The video does not reflect their opinions or views, it was taken by a 3rd party

You are not being up front here. It's obvious you have a problem with Owen and/or the shop and are stirring the pot. You would have something bad to say if the car went 9's.
People can sit on the internet and poke at the car all they want. It is the fastest 1 out there right now. It will definitely be going faster, and it will take a serious build to beat it.

But since none of the info from you, which differs from the build up thread from what was initially stated as the combo on the Track... it calls for questions to be asked.

No Joe, if this car went out and cracked an 11.0 at 125 or 128 and who knows what kind of Elapsed time, I would have been quite impressed.

Raceweight was 41xx lbs
My WS6 with a half tank of gas, otherwise stock weighed 3580.
Anyways when somebody posts a thread like this make sure you get all the facts and conditions and elevations. That would seriously clear up soooooo much.
With that said, take the car back when it cools and run it again. Only picking up maybe 10 mph with all that work is sad.

I dont think its the irs or shorty headers... Has to be weight or something.. My goat had irs and with headers and tune I went 12.3s at 113.. M6 3550 with me in it.. I figure this would be similar.. I know I want one but heck I dont know if its really going to be worth it.. Guess thats why I am snooping around for good deals on a c5 lol

and LMR did NOT run a 12.50 with a cai and a tune! i was at the track watching them run it and they had no chance off breaking into the 12's! and its not like the car gradually got quicker as the putt on the cool air intake on and tuning it, if i remember correctly one off their for faster runs was one off their first funs off the night....
