I saw that guy and I felt ashamed for the Evo Community

I remember a yellow one being on pass time a few months ago from AZ.. But he snapped an axle.. It would be funny to have one of the 9 second evo's go on there with drag radials (sleeper status) and watch everyone guess 11's and then they run a 9.. LOL..

i guess pretty well at home. But i'm sure it is different than really being there and guessing. Just ask them horspower and weight ratio. Look at the tires also.

Good luck that is sweet. let uis know when it will air.

They had Mitsu 3000GT on the show that ran 9.6 at 160 mph. Ken's guess was 13.41 LOL


I think the huge Hoosiers and answer of 1000+whp will give the 9 second Evo away.

umm how do you run 9's without a chute.. I mean ****? i thought you had to have all NHRA or IHRA saftey stuff when your on there for the class.

Also man. Find out what track its at.. find out if its NHRA and look at the safety requirements. Ask things like. You got a cutoff switch? do you need it to run?

The 3000 ran at Area 51 in Roswell, NM.

Chute is needed for 150+, since Pass-Time show is a single pass so they most likely dont check for any of the small safety stuff. I have seen plenty of people on that show run faster then 14.0 without a helmet.

the dodge stealth was Matt Monett owner of Dynamic Racing, the car has gone 8's but he botched the launch.

he's running an arc-2 piggy back ecu and 720cc injectors with the base fuel pressure cranked to the moon. The arc-2 is like the maf-t but with a ford maf and 3 dials lol. His stealth is a 91 so it has the adjustable crank angle sensor (cas) so he used that to bump up the base timing which changes it across the entire rpm range lol.

very crude but you see what it runs

Pick up an issue of national dragster and learn the different bracket racers and their times. The cars that are street driven is just experience and knowledge of the particular car. A ****box racing that looks and sounds like **** could run a 10 flat.
