Hows this possible? 11.149?

Im not sure if this was noticed by anyone else but, I was crusing the 1/4 mile times page and came across a 11.149 2g GST, which this person claims was done with a 140 shot of nitrous on stock turbo,fuel, and ignition!!! Im pretty sure its impossible to get those times with a stock fuel setup. I dunno I just thought it was funny and I call bs on it, anyone else agree? Unless someone out there can enlighten me if this is possible or know this guy personally.

fortunately, that car is legit

There are more posts on it and i think a website

its SUPER stripped down, very light, and it IS running alot of n2o and HUGE slicks

Yes that time is correct
 
His race weight says 2550lbs which is super light for our cars, mine is fairly stripped and it is 2950 with me out. So since he is pushin Honda status on the scale, it is posible.
 
on stock fuel though? I mean come on..Wouldnt it hit fuel cut? 450s and t25 just doesnt mix with a 11.149 time..Oh well if u guys say its legit all i gata say is god damn OMG

so its probably a 14 or 13 second car on the street, i take it, without n20. hehe I wonder how fast his "show car" is ;)
 
I just watched him run this past Saturday at Firebird in Phoenix. It's legit. The first run I saw, he had a tough time getting out of the hole, but the top end was sick. The next run was a lot better, I do not remember the time but it was an 11 sec run. And yes, he is running the stock T-25 in that car. It's insane to watch.

doesn't sound legit to me. sounds ricey


Didn't I just say I saw the car.

Oh it must not be legit because I live in the same state as him and have seen the car run with my own eyes.

I must be lying to look cool :rolleyes:
 
its actually an interesting idea.. just skip all that upgrading and just build the engine. Throw on a crap load of NOS and put down the numbers. So simple ... wonder why I never thought about that.
 
I hate it when people say something like "stock fuel system".

He might mean just stock injectors? He might mean he has stock fuel lines, or even something like the stock gas tank.

There is no telling what he means, but it is hard to belive he didn't put a pump in if he is running that much juice.

I find it hard to belive somebody with a racecar with a roll cage inside, would still have the stock fuel pump OMG
 
well anything can be done and I think its true....some guys here in tampa florida have run a 11.4 with nitrous 14b FWD plymouth lazer...will they see 10's on a 14b?you bet Im sure of it the way I saw it spinning down the track when it finally hooks and books....just give em some time Im sure. :p

That sounds like Project Goodwill and they're not using nitrous, just lots of weight reduction and some good driving. :thumb:
 
I have never seen that car before, however just by looking at the pics and mod list I can tell it's lagit.

He's running a 26" slick on a FWD car which is what you would need to trap that speed plus he is running it basically as a nitrous car. At 2550lbs it's very possible that this car does that time and could potentially be faster. Just because he's using N2o and not what we consider the normal way of a bigger turbo doesn't mean to say it's not doing what it's doing.

are you deaf? it is real. I've seen the car run myself and have talked to the owner at several dsm meets.

Its not a street car so he doesn't worry about running 13's or 14's on the street.

see the caption under the pics in his gallery? "this is my show car and this is my race car"

:rolleyes:

well excuse me :mad:

I dont doubt it geez i was just asking if it was for real and if ppl knew about it and if ppl say its legit than I believe it. get off my back dude.

I also didnt say that he ran it on the street.. I said if he did it would probably be a 13-14sec car.

Just be cause its a "race car" doesnt mean it will never see the street. :dsm:
