coltboostin Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 The Colt is down and out, for good. I can not yet release details about the accident, just know that I should not have walked away, at all. The roll cage and helmet saved my life.

The car made 708whp and 508 ft lbs@34psi. A quick tune netted me 707whp and 497ft lbs @ 32psi. Low boost (17psi) netted me 459whp and 351 ft lbs. This was all achieved with a quick getto tune that I never took the time to improve on. Further more, I went 10.5@148.8 at only 30psi on my baby slicks. The most interesting #’s of that run being my 1.9 60ft and 111mph 1/8th mile speed. For reference, Corey’s hatch went 118mph on its way to a 9.9@149. Needless to say, the Colt had MUCH more left in it with traction and more boost, but I had to leave a little more for the race with John Tilley (TT Vette).

coltboostin Posted June 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 I cant give details of how it happened yet, maybe not ever, but rest assured, I should not have survived, let alone walk away. Thanks guys, a few people want to hand it form their shop's cellings, so I dont think it will be scrapped. We'll see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojoe Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 200 mph in a street car is very impressive, let alone a Colt. Sorry for your lose and glad to hear you're ok. Any chance you have vid showing 200 mph? How was that speed gauged? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest powers Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 well look at it this way. Perhaps this incident will save your life later on by making you more caucious in the future. The motor, intake an turbo look like they did not take too much of a beating and should be salvageable. You never know until you get in there though. I remember the brief conversation I had with you a few months back going hey please put a cage in it and you saying yup got one going in. Safety is very important and can not be overlooked. Roll racing is fun and all but those kinds of speeds should never be attempted on the street. Glad to see you lived to tell others how bad an idea going 180+ in a car that has no business doing is. I am curious if this had anything to do with the brake/wheel hub issues you were having 2 weeks ago? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck531 Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 That sucks man Maybe you needed a 3' aluminum park bench on the back of the car to keep it from sliding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokinHawk1647545499 Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 I guess the Doc was right, that a car like that isnt stable at those speeds. soory bout your loss of the car, but the main thing is that you cam out ok, be carefull out there.

The car was taken to 180mph t many times to remember with no issue. As stated, a park bench ricer wing 100% would have saved my ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
