Actually if I'm right the viper went 7.11 cause they was saying they need a 7.10 or faster to have the record but if I'm right they took the mph record.he was driving this car around like a normal car yesterday.

He ended up backing that pass up with a 7.22@209mph. He has the IRS MPH record but hes still working on the ET record. He is now running our rear mounted TH400/9" IRS combo. There is still a LOT of ET left in the car in the first 660'.

Should handle 2000hp fairly easy.

His chute mount is a little too low. They are going to address that soon.

Mark is really hauling the mail. Pretty incredible watching his ET continue to drop over the years. It was really cool seeing him pick the kids up at school with the old setup in the car a while back.

Basically my reaction...



I have been a fan of this car from the start. The amount of time and effort to perfect every last detail (even for looks) is just amazing!

Congrats!
