VIDEO

This guy lives in San Jose. He brings the car out to sac raceway once in a while, I've seen him run it a few times. Actually, I saw him run it on wednesday once, even though he's got no mufflers. Wednes it supposed to be street legal cars.... it's when all the riceboys show up to compete with one another.

What did he run?

The car was running 10s last time I saw it. Don't remember the exact time.

was that tire smoke or exhaust smoke... It looked like tire smoke to me... When you do that on a dyno thats impressive...

It was the tires, the exhaust doesn't run to the back of the car. You can see where the exhasut is at the beginning of the vido when he starts the car.

Yea, I was going to say that the car was not very impressive if it ran 10's with that much power at the wheels. Then it would just be a dyno queen instead of a monster:p

Nice car... too bad we can't see the whole dyno screen... I'd like to see the torque too and where in the RPM range it makes it's power.

Dude what a monster...I was waiting for him to get into it on the dyno and you can definatly tell when he did...that thing went nuts. So are those turbo's coming out of the hood or what?

yeah. I asked him why he did that, and he said "If the supercharger guys can stick those big blowers throguh the hood, I can do it with a turbo".

I think the real answer is to get fresh cool air... and a little for show =) I have to say though... the exhaust coming out the fenders... not very classy.

I thought the smoke was comming from the tires, b/c the dyno couldn't keep up ..... or maybe not :)

here is another good dyno
