Saturday was a great day for video and pictures, though track conditions got hotter as the day passed.

We got a chance to give Vic’s car a few shakedown runs and were impressed by the MPH, though getting traction proved more difficult that we thought!

Vic’s suspension is set up to have great street manners, limited wheel hop and limited suspension travel. As a result, it’s not necessarily going to shine at the strip.

Chris Saunier was able to squeeze low-mid 11’s out of it (on Nitto DR’s) at 130 MPH.

This is very impressive considering the lack of practice, weight (almost 4300 LBS: Convertible GT500 + Chris (250 LBS) + a full tank of fuel) and slick tires compared to others. We’ve found that Hoosier drag radials outshine Nittos at the track, though the Nitto is a great tire if you want to drive it on the street with decent tread life.

133 MPH should be attainable with a little practice and with the correct suspension / tire adjustments, we’ve got a 10.60 car.

This car is an absolute screamer, without a single sacrifice in daily drivability.

Here are some pictures of the event:

Many hours went into airbrushing the under-hood cobra:

JLT’s intake fit right in!

Heaten ‘em up

680+ RWHP on pump gas = an absolute scream!

Nero from Titan Motorsports came out, as did one of the cars we Sponsor. Below are some pics of Nero’s new M3: I like the black roof:

The black mustang we sponsor was also there and we shot some great video. Those pics and video coming up in our next blog…

Stay tuned!

Thanks again to everyone who came out!
