I don't think any drag radial car is going to be doing 180 in the 1/8 mile ANYTIME soon.

I don't know who went .60s but Dave Bowman has been in the 7.80s for more than one shot on 275s.

So, what level of power are those cars runing? Is it only the weight in favor of the stangs or ford engines can be built to power levels higher than LSX engines?

I know LSX rules everywhere but wondering about those stangs.

Are they street driven cars or pure drag cars?

I think I remember reading in Race Pages about some guy with a Mustang....and Wolfe said something about it a few weeks ago too.

All the cars are 3300-3400 and make 1600-2000hp.

Bowman has been running 7.80 at 188 pretty consistant now on 275's, was hoping to see him in the .70's soon though.

I think your right, I did hear there was a stang on 275's running .60's with I belive a F2R, mucho props to this guy! Do SC's have a weight penalty like turbo cars? Because I bet they will now, lol.

I would have thought the cars would weigh less. I guess there is only so much you can do with full bodys and cages. Just think what they could do in the sub 3k lb range.

Phil99vette · 09-24-2008, 03:29 PM

You can get them under 3k. Rules require them to be @ 3300/3400.

turbo'd stang · 09-24-2008, 03:30 PM

Those records will get shattered come Oct 4-5th

Update.... Hinzman just went 7.33 @ 197...Waiting for a backup pass

bluecamaroz28 · 09-24-2008, 07:56 PM

quick question about keenan's ride; were his times done using a trans brake? and is it still on stock style rear suspension?

i have to worry about stuff like that cause the car is going to compete in the same class i'm running right now in bahrain.

Well. Here is a good 7.38 run for Alex in the yellow twin turbo Cobra. Those Ford guys play serious.
