I think a record is a record and we are not talking about hondas here that can run 11s and 10s easy. These cars are heavier and running 12.0 is great, as long for us who are investing a lot of money and time tryning to get better and better.

I believe it was raining and no one really had a decent run. I could be completely wrong though. (ugh)

I know the car can do better. Last time, the track was a mess and he couldn't make the same 0-60 at 1.7.

Thats what I always say. Imagine our cars if they weighed as much as Honda's. Imagine Evo's and Sti's on a diet.

The car weights 2765 lbs with 2 front seat and full exhaust (the car had to be weighted for all 3 runs done NHRA Sports Compact Event 4/4/06). I will find out from Manuel where he ordered the cometic head gasket from.
 
Was this with or w/o nitrous? if you took the heavy wings west bumper off you'd shave more pounds off the car and prob would have gotten an 11 sec run. i thought the drag protege from ziel motorsports ran 10s or 9s?

This run was without nitrous. Manuel wanted to remove the rear wing to take weight out but I didn't want to. The rear wing is held down with screws and adhesive double side tape. The body shop did a good job and I didn't want to ruin it. This my daily driver and after the runs, we took off the slicks, put the regular tires on and drove from West Palm Beach to Miami. I didn't want to remove the front bumper either, I had to go to work the next day. I taught the track being messed was just an excuse other cars that were there that night were making because they didn't do good times but when I looked at the slips, I saw that it was only on the 1st run (before the sportsman cars with street tires ran) that we hit a 1.7 6o ft and kept getting 1.9 for the rest of the night. We are going to go back to the dyno to do some more tunning to see if 11s is possible with a VF 22 Turbo and a Haltech F10x.
