8.41 @ 171MPH HD2 Racing EVO is flew into round 3 at the NZDRA Nationals on March 19th.



There is lots more left in this beast. I'll let the team chime in on the pass with details.

 

Did he lift after the launch? thats moving lets see some 7s

 

Nice. What did it put down on the dyno? Would like to see a dyno pull video. I am glad someone came out with a RWD Evo.

 

Over a 1000whp if i recall correctly. However STM is very methodical and knows how to prep a car well, I highly doubt this pass was anywhere near Kill mode. Since the car is new they are still dialing in the chassis.

7's are gonna come really easy for the car.

 

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the support. The build is still very fresh and Mike has only had a handful of passes down the track so far. 8.41 is nothing to get excited about for a car at this level, however the video shows that it was far from the perfect pass. The car launched hard but Mike hit second too early which bogged the car badly (it just about stopped!).

Considering the 171 mph terminal and the fact we are still on a very soft tune up, the potential is pretty obvious. I'm confident that Mike will go 7.8X @ 175+mph pn a full pass with this tune up. Once we have some consistent back to back runs we will begin leaning on the tune and wind some more power into it.

This is our first time running a PRO RWD car and there is a lot to learn. We prefer to take our time and methodically work towards getting the car down the strip. This all takes time but there is no future in going out with the car set up on kill at the first meet with a new driver and risking putting it into the wall.

We have one more meeting this season on the 9th/10th of April and we would hope to crack a 7 second pass before winter. We will keep you updated.

Amazing pass!

congrats!

It is unbelievable how these RWD cars launch!

 

Ufff... Rear wheel drive full chassis, just what everyone keeps telling me to do with my evo ...I just can't do it...NOT YET...ANYWAY jejeje. Congrats Andre great job . I know 7's are just around the corner, my friend Pepo the S2King from Puerto Rico was the 1st s200 to hit 8's late last year and just hit 7.50 on the 1st 3/4 chassis S2000 to hit 7's w/ the Honda motor and it's been in my mind for the last 6 months ...ufff

Congrats again Andre and the whole team

I never connected the 7.57 Skyline to STM. Great work, AS ALWAYS!

 

That is pretty bad ***!!

I'd love to see more pics.

 

For those wanting to see more pics, the build was covered a month ago on Speedhunters. Check it out here:

how much did it cost to build this beast? had to be almost over 100k

 

very impressive 7 will be easy to get in this car!

 

If you need to start adding up the bills, you probably can't afford it.

Andre

 

Thanks much for the update once again Andre!

I keep forgetting you guys are on opposite weather schedules than we are lol.

To think you just got it out this late in the summer what will you do over the "winter"?

 

That car is a beast! Can't wait to see it run more!
