StreetThisEVO - 8.970 @ 163.02 MPH

Finally 8's!!!

Video:

This was done with what I consider full interior. All seats, carpet, dash, glass, panels, mirrors, wipers, etc...are all still there. I could easily pull close to 100 lbs. out of the car, but I like running 8's in style.

I also broke my MPH record with a 166.85 mph pass on Mickey Thompson's new 245/45/17 ET Street R drag radials. Went 9.185 on that pass with a 1.612 sixty. I bounced the 10k rpm rev limiter on that pass. Might have trapped closer to 168 mph if that would not have happened. I think 8's @ almost 170 mph is obtainable on a true drag radial.

I am changing the suspension around in hopes of getting my short times back into the 1.3's. With no change to the tune or power - the car most certainly has a 8.7 in it as she sits. Possibly even a high 8.6.

After years and years of setting goals, I'm not sure what is next. 2015 should be a good year and I look forward to the Shootout!!

Thank you everyone!

The new ET Street R's are pretty badass. With some more seat time on them I feel a 8 second radial pass is there. They feel great on the road and were stable as can be at 160+ mph.

Congratulations again on your accomplishments Chris!

Was great to see you dip into the 8's on the proven 26" ET Drag and reset your 1/4-mile MPH record of 166.85 on the new P245/45R17 ET Street R!

Me and the gang at M/T enjoyed working with you and are looking forward to additional feedback!

Thank you for working with us!
