Dr. Pomade Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Makes sense. Congrats on the car, Jamie. I'm awestruck. Hope to see it in person one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coltboostin Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Thanks JP. The drag day was a bit of a cluster fuck as the track wouldn't hook, so we put our larger tires on and pulled a bunch of power out - and still had to lift every pass. Unusual for Lonestar, but the track was seeping water all day. Once I hit 4th it hooks good on the highway. It may appear I'm drifting, but the car is rock solid. I was looking for the camera truck sitting in median and wanted to split lanes to give myself as much room as possible. I'm getting too old for this street stuff - doubt I'll be doing it much longer. I'm 100% sure you said that 6 years ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got-Boost? Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 I'm getting too old for this street stuff - doubt I'll be doing it much longer. Jamie, that just means we need to move it to a runway event under controlled conditions. These toys are getting to fast to be doing this on the street late at night (without shutting down the road)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10phone2 Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 the LMR F body went 250 mph at the texas mile today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirks5oh Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 incredible. how much maintenance to these cars need? while i'd love to own something like this, i just don't have the resources to work on them, or ship them out several times per year for maintenance-- and i live 3 hours away from anyplace that would even sell one of these cars stock.

coltboostin Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 the LMR F body went 250 mph at the texas mile today. With the 22XX HP that have been boasting about, I would have expected more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10phone2 Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 I wouldn't be surprised they had traction issues again. When they did 246, the car was all over the place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagner Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 I wouldn't be surprised they had traction issues again. When they did 246, the car was all over the place. Yeah that 246 run got a bit scary at times. That car damn near spins each time it shifts even at the higher speeds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10phone2 Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Jamie, even though you have heard it a million times... great car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuicedH22 Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 There has been lots of shit talking around IPS's Murci build and how they are going to take it to UR. I wish David the best. There is a reason why UR has only built a few cars on that dated platform. They'll find out soon enough. THere has been? Not on CR I guess? In fact the only time I remember anyone on CR talking shit about UR was with regards to this story: http://jalopnik.com/5837721/lamborghini-tuner-threatens-customer-with-stripper-video but I can't find that thread on here now? - My search skills suck I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
