Damn he was spraying that thing for a while.....I'm surprised the rods stayed in it... LOL





I wonder how much dope was on it? Race gas I'm sure as well...Looked like some of the interior was removed also..(behind the seats)..

Looks like a sweet road.... Troopers will be all over that bitch during TX2k14

Watch the shift points, 45 in 1st, 75 in second and 105 in third. Thing was hauling *** before he got into 5th. Wonder what happened to sixth? Or do they only have a 5spd?

I was wondering the same, but from the post above it looks like the car is slower in 6th and 7th...

It can!! just more power is needed. The 200 mph milestone is difficult. Even a dart in the wind has friction. That was his choice on the little extra he needed.
