Patience young grasshopper....

VERY close.

 

Here you go buddy! https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=375723

 

sweet vid- car looks fast! I know it's considered a streetcar, but how easy is it to drive as a daily driver? Running errands, going through fast food drive throughs, etc...?

 

If it couldn't be driven on the street, take my kids to school, go to cruise in's, go out to eat it certainly wouldn't be a street car of any kind. Did you see Jarrod sitting in the back seat and video taping? See how smooth the car is? This isn't some hacked up tin can POS that barely idles and only makes power at 9,000 rpm, it's a real streetable car.

 

Woa there tiger- my question wasn't meant to anger you- I think the car is amazing... I saw in the video how it's nearly stock looking in appearance and is full weight and everything else which is great. I was just wondering for a car that runs so fast how it's driveability it was off the track and in everyday situations.

I didn't know you took your kids to school in it, or did normal daily driver type things in it. I think that's awesome that not only have you retained the stock look to it but have made it an everyday driver sort of car... Great work

 

I wasn't angry, I was simply making some points about the car. The streetability was questioned earlier in the year too but was put to rest when a bunch of people saw Kevin and I drive it into the track for the shootout, race it all day, running 9.50's at 155 mph and then get in it at the end of the day and drive it out to diner and then back home again. It was actually discussed by a few people here on EVOm that they were shocked to actually see it driving around on the road like I said we do.

I understand it's hard to believe but the reality is it does drive/run/idle excellent.

 

Awesome- I wish I had a bad bish. Hope it goes 8's and hope to see a few more 8 second passes from other cars before the season is over. It would be great to have the top 7 or so be in the 8's!!!

 

Having the top 7 cars in the 8's will have to wait for next year

 

It's great to see the shop representation in the 8's. Going down the line we have AMS, TurboTrix, Buschur, and ETS/English Racing.

The only other guys I see at having a shot at 8's would possibly be a few more Buschur cars (from what I know), the orange TT car (if it runs again), and Petros from Greece. But that's assuming those guys at Dogbox or Magnus don't launch their Drag cars before the season is done.
