[QUOTE="mrlrd1, post: 9808382, member: 94513"] To the last few posters: Bogart wheels aren't run because they look good, or that they're extremely durable. They're as light as you can buy. When you spend 3x the normal cost for a set of drag wheels on Bogarts, its all about weight reduction. See the skinnies up front? They're not for handling! They're about weight reduction. THE CAR HAS WEIGHT REDUCTION. The C4 trans a 9" converter in the car? The reduces the weight too. Swapping the trans and wheels/tires like this car will probably knock off at least 100lbs. Still full weight? :kaboom: 137mph through a C4? Bolt-on, weight reduction cars are trapping ~120 with a manual trans. To pick up another 17mph through a C4? You'll need a 250 shot MINIMUM. I'll bet it's 300. ;-) So this car held a big shot for one hailmary pass. Did it back it up? Do we have any other videos of this car? How do we know it held it. Stock shortblock LSx cars have seen 100s of bottles at 200+. I've seen a few guys go 250, but never 300. [/QUOTE]
