I don't think that was Rodney's car in the vid. That was a Mercury Sable.

i hear ya. I'm trying to get a similar set up but not spend all the time and money on the chassis work. I already got subframes and strut tower brace. I will basically have his same set up except most of his chassis mods and the T-rex cam he got. I'm going with a custom cam and custom tune from Nick Williams. HOPEFULLY everything will get done this summer (may-june sometime)

Yeah, just ribbing you a bit. The owner of that car post on here as Smokin01TA I believe and keeps everyone updated on his progress. That time is very impressive indeed though.

As far as my car goes, I could have changed gears and went with a higher stall and probably snuck into the 10's. I went for a little N20 run and blew the tranny though. After almost 5 years of having an A4 and dealing with those issues, I'm bored with it. Next time at the track I will be an M6 with slightly different mods done.

Hmmm... MINOR mods? What are you smoking? The car is ~2700 lbs, full drag setup suspension, UNstreetable cam, crazy 4.56 gears, etc etc etc.

Sure the motor isn't that modded, but that thing's no daily driver.
