  1. I like it even more that the car is almost silent inside at those speeds...
  2. Where did I saw it was? I simply stated that they ALL have wheel hop, drag car or not...
  3. You must drive a unicorn then because I've driven S4's, M3's, M5's, CTSV, Vette's, Cobra's, Honda's, etc...and they ALL have done it stock and modded. The S4's break the OEM diff carrier/crossmember and it's very common so maybe you aren't launching that hard... You can launch it easy and eliminate a lot but you can still get it if you aren't careful...
  4. Kind of the issue with my wife and a TURBO-BUSA but if I keep it track only, she doesn't care... She wants me to sell it and get another 4-wheel toy though...
  5. Wish they had them down here in Texas...
  6. Most IRS cars get it when you add power with shitty surface/traction. The M3's do it and so do Audi's....
  7. Why? Isn't it your car and your build.... I wish someone would bring another GTR out and smack AMS around for a while. Talk about some cocking bastards...
  8. Jamie I didn't see you racing at the Texas Mile. Did you bring anything to race or just watch?
  9. I believe the new record is 9.1 @ 163 but that should drop soon. They've got to 60' a bit better and any of the shops could be in the 8's....
  10. I'd still rather have the Euro spec RS6 V10-TT.... :thumbup:
  11. I agree but the car driver is still a douche regardless of them racing or not...
  12. Rain on a bike = no fun! Close one with the idiot merging and no blinker or nothing.... What's the Supra make 750-800whp?

  14. New version or old? If it's 09+ to be honest, they are fun but hardly worth $19,890 MSRP Yamaha is asking. Even the highly discounted ones aren't worth that kind of money. What is your purpose for buying it?
  15. Different cars and different drivers.... The car that spun at the start is Jonah (no wing or stripe) LP-560-4. It's an AWD manual car (1 of 3 in the country). The spin happened Saturday afternoon just before dark... The car that crashed was Richard, Orange Superleggero RWD E-gear car with the stripe and spoiler (#0013). http://motormavens.com/emAlbum/albums/Contributors/James%20Evins/Events/Texas%20Mile%202010/IMG_3841_UGR_Twin_Turbo_Gallardo.jpg What were you racing Jamie, I never saw you?
  16. Yep, that's him! :bangbang: At the second part... That particular spin vid is Jonah on Sat night and not the wrecked car. People were talking shit but I'm sure it's a little tough hooking 1,800+whp on an unprepared surface (no-VHT or anything). I think the Black one is making a little more than that now. The totaled Gallardo could have been avoided though...
  17. Sounds like another case of buying a car you can't afford...

    Maxton is probably the closest but the rules are a LOT more strict. Then you've got Loring AFB, Maine but it's 1.5-mile...
  19. There was also a black one racing owned by the same guy as the other orange that didn't crash. What do you want to know about it? I saw the entire run/crash and I hate to say it but it wasn't the wind. If you see the vid from last years 249/250 runs you'll know why it spun. Unfortunatly this year he didn't have room and went off the pavement. They said he had over $1.2M in the build from start to crash... I've got lots of pics and video just need time to load it.

    Bahhh...you should go to Bonneville, that's nothing... Bill has gone 273mph in 1-mile on a BUSA and hopes to break that record this weekend... "Should" key word there. Same with the Viper guys making big power but the transmissions can't hold it. That's the problem with LSR, people are making the power but very few actually make it happen and get results. It's a different animal than a 1/4-mile blast....

    There is a jet dragster that comes out. I believe his fastest speed is 324mph! It would be nice to see some faster Vetts out. I don't remember the current speed but last I remember, 211mph was the fastest Vett (C6 Z06) in 1-mile at a sanctioned event like Texas and it was a N/A built car with Nitrous. LG's C6 Z06 went 210mph before that...
