Default Z8's and a few others may remember this car

Cleaning out my old Lap Top and found these, the quality is horrible but keep in mind that I really wouldn't be surprised if these videos were from 1999. I had to look up what it ran, but aparently it went 9.28@154MPH. This car I want to say held the record for a little while.

Great sounding car. Ive always like the sound when a car is riding the final gear when going at the end of the track.

That car was actually in the Chicago area for a while. The guy up here sold it to someone down south with a Big single turbo setup on it.

Jason I know what you mean, I was looking at an 03 Cobra getting it's motor pulled and it was hard to believe they were almost 10 years old. This car was local, I don't quite ever remember seeing it out, I always heard this car started some beef between Mad Man and MTI.

Omahar's car was a stroker nitrous car before it was turbo, same as Big Rick's, both were nitrous stroker set ups before they became turbo race cars.

"Big Purple" is Omahar Berry



Dave Ducote's old Formula
