After seeing last import wars it definitely inspired me to get into the single digits. 1.5weeks to build it from ground up minus the chassis/cage which was already finished in 2006. Engine, turbo system, 1000hp fuel system, etc etc had to be done in 1.5 weeks. 4 guys and a few days later we finished...1/2 day on the dyno and turned in ~800whp@10,500 rpms.
1st and only run yielded 9.902@155.92mph with a crappy 1.70 60ft(usually 1.6 fts). Track wasn't prepped in the morning....1pm they finally prepped it. Too late for us to try again. Fresh setup out so didn't finish parachute. Took it out to test for straightness, but hit 9s w/o parachute and 9s license. Couldn't stop on time and had to downshift to stop...hurting #2 cylinder. Valve nicked piston....... Might get it up and running again in a few days to try for mid 9sec@160+mph w/ parachute. If not it'll be ready for Import Wars 2010.
This is my personal street car...not a full decked out race setup. Basic KYB suspension, OEM gas tank, nothing cut up, OEM windows/glass, just no rear seats......
