Have a friend that has one. We have yet to race because we never have both cars out at the same time.
I have rode in it. I'm pretty sure it is as fast as mine. We raced a vette and he was on it's *** the whole way to 110

They have some dead-spots though and the downshifts are not immediate. Quirky, but fun.

He got rid of the car and ended up getting a Cobra. Before he got rid of it he installed nitrous on it. He never dynoed it with the bottle though. We were at the same dyno. I did 326 to his 404rwhp. He had a catback, intake, and that shitty chip. Strong car.

Thanks for the vids. 404rwhp with a Jet Chip cracks me up. I would love to get a few pulls on that dyno!

I'm building my car with an eye towards at least one event on the Bonneville salt, so aerodynamics has been something I've spent some time & thought on. Consider the following:
"We all know a little about aerodynamics. Stick your hand out of the window of a moving car and you can immediately feel the effects of airflow-lifting your hand up or pushing it down, in addition to moving it backwards. Place your hand perfectly flat in the wind, parallel to the ground, and you should only feel your hand being tugged backwards a little. That tugging force is drag. As you increase the angle your hand makes to the oncoming wind, your hand is forced upwards. This is lift. Decreasing the angle of your hand from the flat position will cause the wind to force it down, hence the term downforce. In both situations, the effects of drag increase because the surface area exposed to the airflow increases." Link
I've always understood that aerodynamics begin to have an effect at about 30-35 mph (and that the effect increases by the square of the speed), but if someone can show something that proves that incorrect, I'd be glad to see it...
FWIW, one of my co-workers has an SRT-8/300c, & he's taken me for a couple of rides in it. Fun car, & I could get REALLY accustomed really quickly to all of the toys that he has in it. I think that (when my swap project is complete) I should be able to take him by just a little bit, just due to my car having similar power, but better aero, plenty of suspension mods & about 600 lbs less weight - but we'll see how it works out in the real world...
To the OP - Good kill, & be ready for the next one...
