Very impressive coming from a fellow gear banger.

It will go 8.60's with someone rowing the gears like they are angry at them.

I some how got the pleasure of running Nelson 3 times this past weekend, and at 1:05 sec in the video you can see the raping caught on video!

Damn, were you even moving? lol

Good song and holy 60ft!

Just damn impressive especially considering how long Lethal and thebull tried to accomplish this and never did! What weight reduction was done? Any reason for not running more boost? Plans to run the 4.2LC?

Just basic stuff race seats ,ect. No reason to run more boost and beat the hell out of it. 4.2 ? we will see the lil 3.6 doing pretty good if you ask me.First time the car was at the track with this set up ,got some tweaking to do.:coolman:

I hope he was granny shifting for the sake of that tranny staying together for the race, because there is ALOT more in that bad boy...curious as to why you guys are saying driver mod??

I've seen much better driving from the EVOLUTION camp, so I'm sure that's the reason behind it.. ridiculous car none the less!

It's definitely an impressive feat, no doubt about that, but Evolution has been chasing the number for a lot longer than we have. We'll just have to settle for having the fastest 6 speed instead of being the first to the 8's :coolman:

Congrats again Evo! :beer:

Let Jeremy make a pass in Evo's car! lol then I'm sure you guys can share the crown of fastest and quickest GT500 with a stick.

Good song and holy 60ft!

As impressive as the pass is, that 60 ft is HORRIBLE for the power the car makes. So that shows there is quite a bit left in it, and it's not as easy as just letting go of a t brake button and letting the converter do the launch for you like in an auto car.

That car should be in the 1.20's 60 ft, if it gets it, that et is going to fall like a rock.
