Default First 8 second IRS GTO
I think the video says it all. We have been trying for the last year to get this pig into the 8s. This is a street car with full stock leather interior, 4L80 trans, 427 Warhawk with a F1R Procharger, oh, and IRS. 3840 lbs race weight.

1.407 60'
5.80 1/8
124.4 mph
8.95 1/4
154.2 mph

^^Needs more than a chute. Needs a wheel tub with bigger tires and more gear. Get that thing on the bumper.

Nope, Travis, the guy who owns the car was driving it.

I have been driving Dons GTO though. We finally got to run a 9.97 in it at 4000lbs in Bradenton.

It has been mini tubbed and has 28 inch tires on it. I have seen it pick the wheels up one time at Bradenton about 5-6 inches or so off of the Trans Brake. It is so heavy in the front and the IRS pretty much sucks to get wheels up. It squats pretty hard, but its really hard to get the tires up.
