I'm curious how the aero compares to other prepared brands, being awd may have it's advantage getting up to speed. I noticed the 1800rwhp GT was spinning at 150+
Thanks guys for the support!!!
We have been putting in a ton of extra hours to pull this off and shes finally ready
This was left open as the small radiator is placed there and we needed to get some air flow to it.

First pass out with the AMS drag car yielded a 222.3 MPH on low boost (40 psi). Some rear bumper problems also affected Aero and limited speed. The boost will be turned up a little more for the next pass and the rear bumper problem will be addressed.

lol 30 mph at that speed is a LOT of HP!!! I don't think we will be coming close to that but we should at least better out time.
Due to Wind and Heat they are going to call it quits for today
The GT-R did a shake down run but we let off early as we have only one wide open throttle chance at it. The car needs a cage to go over 190pmh and they will only let you do that once or twice tops before they end your day. Martin did a pass up to 178 before shutting down and he said it got there FAST. We just loaded in the Mile Map with the bumped rev limiter so We should be doing a full pass tomorrow.
So the AMS EVO, Porsche and GT-R will make their next passes tomorrow. Stay tuned!
