Yessir... great guy to meet. I had the pleasure of hanging out with him, Marc Hallman, and Bill Lawrence along with alot of other OG DSM guys at Buschur's when I went to the shootouts. Miss my Eclipse.. but it was a headache.
AMS just gave UGR some company...

Because shift points for a 60-130 run might be slightly different than what's best for a quick E.T. Also, when you do 60-130 runs in the street late at night, you typically get more runs in which increases your chances of running a record 60-130 time.
Amen! :beer:
Ahhh I see thanks for the info man, I appreciate it. However, the better time coming from the street only applies to awd cars, not rwd or drag set up cars correct? For instance if someone took out their z06 or Shelby at night and did numerous 60-130 pulls on the street, their best time would more than likely be slower than a 60-130 time done at the drag strip?
Totally depends on if they hook or not, which comes down to the power level. My best times in my Z06 when it was stock were done on the street. But yes, when a RWD car makes so much power that it can't hook at under 60mph without slicks and VHT, then it's best times will be done on the strip.
Makes sense!! Thanks man, I appreciate the clarification and help. So with awd cars, the 60-130 time will usually be higher done on the street due to more attempts, night runs (cooler) and possible better shifting points than a quarter mile ET at a drag strip, however the times will usually be very similar between the two. Where as with a rwd car, it depends on how much power the vehicle is putting down, if its putting a lot down to the wheels I'm guessing 750-800+ than the 60-130 time will be quicker at the drag strip where the car needs hot slicks and VHT to hook and plant that power down, but if its under 750-800 rwhp, the 60-130 time will more than likely quicker on the street.
Anybody know the actual weight on the AMS car now?

Congrats Eric!!!!
Erick says 4000lbs in here. Not sure if that is race weight with driver or not.
Worlds First 7 second GTR R35! (Alpha Omega) - R35 GT-R - GT-R Life
If someone were to tell me 10 years ago that a 4000lbs 6 cylinder Japanese car would run 7's at 186mph in 2013 I would have laughed in their face.. Wow..
I have known these guys for years, and I remember when they helped prep my first track car in 2003 (vid below). I can't say enough about them, or their designs. I tracked their builds hard for 3 years, drove them to and from the track, and was consistently one of the top 3 at any track i went too, and I wasn't the world's best driver. Having worked with some pro teams in my younger days tire testing for cup teams, i can tell you the level of skill Martin, Eric, and Chris possess is second to none, I would put them up against anyone. If they did CTS-V's, I would have already sent it up to them for a complete build, but they declined 
, probably because they have more work than they can do with their current stuff.
I truly wish them the best, and when I pick up another GTR, I can assure you it will be there before it even comes home.

I couldn't have said it better myself. The GTR is an unbelievable platform
The Japanese were doing 7-sec passes with inline-6 Zcars decades ago.
Please read my post again, 4,000lbs car... Not to mention it is AWD..

found on the gtr forums it weighs 3850 so I'm guessing it weighs 4000 with driver. Also to clarify it was not on dr it was on an 18" slick, which from what they said they had to develope a special wheel to fit over the stock rear brake setup to get the slick on
Yes extremely impressive. Nothing taken away from the accomplishment.
However it goes without saying that the Datsuns did it with much less horsepower too...in addition to 30 years ago. :/

full interior LOL :lol: gutted car with no seats [ one carbon fiber racing seat] , no air bags , no A/C , no rear seats, bare floor behind front seats , no center console, big hoses running inside the car for trunk mounted ice box , full cage .
car is fast as fu..k but it's far from being a full interior car
