Default **GTR TX2K11 Dyno Content** AMS Alpha 12 - 1069 AWHP





Video and pics here (same video below)

From the YT description by AMS:

"This past weekend, AMS brought out the gray Alpha 12, owned by Tim Sanders' to the TX2K11 Nationals to run in the dyno competition and quarter mile at Lonestar Motorsports Park - the backyard of Hennessey Performance.

All awd vehicles ran on their Dyno Dynamics dynamometer. The Alpha 12 produced a final AWHP number of 1069, taking first place without having full traction on the rollers! The excessive wheel spin certainly effected the readings and left a nice coating of tire residue on the dyno platform."

Yessir!

They just posted the track vid...





Video (same video below) and a few pics here.

"A lack of good weather and open tracks around Chicago made the TX2K11 Nationals a great opportunity for us to bring Tim Sanders' Alpha 12 for some preliminary quarter mile track testing. During one of the test and tune sessions, Sander's gray Alpha 12 was able to fire off a 9.1@159.97 run. The car is not dialed in to its full potential as of yet, but considering this was its first time to the track, the outcome was still very much a success. "

Looking pretty good.
So the guy who posted the vids is from So Cal. The car is from Chicago and it was at the track in TX? Where was it dynoed in TX. LOL thats some fun.

We have a track rental in Cordova IL on May 7th. You should bring the car out and have some fun with us. I've always loved the GTR's. Was thinking about one for a DD. All the bells and whistles plus the beef! You gotta love it.

All with a v6.....

A 3.5l v6. I mean 3.8l (Buick) v6 lol

On a 2wd dyno..... 12-1300?


It sounds like a liter bike.



It's crazy how much stock appearing STREETABLE hp can be attained these days.... With crazy cash....

This here is a car capable of an 8 second 1/4 mi. with a/c and cc.

Talk about a dream car for me..... lol....

Thanks for the vids.

Too bad Duttweiler already had that beaten in the late mid 90's with the GN powerplant.


Ontopic, that sounds clean, looks clean, must've cost a TON of money.
