SW's 242mph car at the track

Pretty impressive pass. Here's some more details on what's been going on with the 6-spd race:

 

Darin Dichiara was the first one to break Ryan Woon's 8.62 6-spd record, running a 8.55 second pass. SW then ran an 8.47 @ 175mph, only a short time after Darin made his record run.

 

After a little while, Darin ran an 8.38 @ 174mph, besting SW's 8.47 and securing his spot as the 6-spd king.....for three days. 3 days later, as SW puts it, they figured, ah, what the hell, before we take the engine out to freshen it up, let's send it down the track once more and see what it will do. The 8.04 second pass was the result of this decision.

 

The fastest 6-spd pass is held by a Viper, and is listed as a 7.98 @ 183mph. This run is extremely controversial, as the video is VERY bad and looks spliced together. However, this record has been the standard for the 6-spd record, and I guess it has to be respected as so.

 

SW and the Boost Logic crew are going to take this record out. Whether it be before the engine gets freshened up or not, I do not know, but it is only a matter of time.

 

If any of you have read on Supraforums, there is a ton of controversy about this pass, and when a record gets beaten this badly, rightfully so. The biggest thing is the rear end. While it was thought that SW had a Ford 9" rear end installed for this pass, he did not. The TRD differential was installed on this car for this pass. I guess this pass was just a combo of the car being lighter than BL's auto drag car, and it producing over 1,500 horsepower. People are calling this the best performing Supra ever built, and with the numbers it's been producing, it's hard to argue.

 

Here's the controversial Viper pass:

Also, after this pass, Woon is down to a 8.37, putting Darin in 3rd place for 6-spd Supras. Needless to say, Darin is not very happy right now. Also, an honorable mention, Saad Saad has run an 8.56, bettering his time.
