Theres a 2G for ya! Plus, that VR4 looks like its about to pull the fronts off the ground!

Also, you people need to watch WRC or something, they catch insane air, also, look at the road behind him, exactly, theres not much of it in that pic, how do you know that just outside of the view of that pic isnt the top of a incline. If a car was doing 120mph and the road raised in elevation and then was flat, the car would get air.

Hell Yea! Poor 3-bolt, He's running a 4-bolt now with a ton more power.


One of my launches, of course you never get the good ones. This one is with a 300% stiffer rear whiteline swaybar, all whiteline poly bushings(everywhere possible), Teins set to 16(hardest). So the squat may not be so great but considering my autocross suspension setup its decent.

Its beautiful like, you notice that this one thoesnt have all of that camber on the rear like the other ones do in the pictures.

nice pic, and nice trap speed! Dont worry tho, prolly 1/3 of the people at the shootout couldn't drive. I heard so many missed gears, riding rev limiter 1/2 way down track, taking 5 seconds to ger in gear etc.
 
yeah I saw video and it did look like that the whole way down the track.

I noticed some bad driving at shootout. I am just upset that I contributed to it LOL. it looks like I was eating a sandwich between shifts. oh and Nitto Drag radials are worthless unless they are red hot.

Somebody had posted this one in one of the shoot out pic threads. Definetly an aggressive launch :thumb:

But what gets me the most is, it looks like a dirt road, or gravel were si all the dust from him going so fast????? just something to think about?

Except for all the stickers, dirty wheels, and the yellow headlights. :p

my wheels are dirty from trying to stop from a 134.5mph pass in what was one of the worst shut downs at any track I have been to.

the headlights are yellow because one hour before shootout my buddy traded me an AFC for his HID and housings. they are all pretty pretty now.

and the stickers....well that comes with the job cant really take those off.

I think I deff. have a clean ass 1G..not many around with mint black leather either. ;)

yep, that's a fake...it's sooooooo ps'ed :rolleyes:

Wow! So many Non-believers. First of all, the photo is taken from the top of the "famed" Brockway jump which is part of the Lake Superior Pro Rally. Racers often hit this jump doing between 80-110mph, hence the big-air. The racer in the picture is Dennis M. who did this in his 90' Eclipse. So even despite all this commentary I know there will still be some non-believers, so here is the video from the jump.
Enjoy,
Jose
