No one believed the world was round either. They thought you'd fall off if you got to the end. You sound like one of those people.
He ripped off THREE 9sec passes, then they tore the engine down right there and went over the car with a fine tooth comb. Why are you having so much trouble believing this? He even has the bore and stroke pictures in the magazine!
I agree!

I'm aware of that, just the n/a part, or the weight something doesn't seem to add up to me. But, I've seen enough in my days to say something can't be done.

I re-read that article two or three times already...I was amazed until I started thinking about f-bodies breaking 10's w/ H/C/I, here is my take:
Lets say your LS1 Trans Am has 450 rwhp...
Your race weight is 3600
You cut a 1.6 sixty
You squeak into the 10's and maybe run a 10.8 when it is dialed in.
Rob's car:
Race weight is 3188, there is 4 tenths (100 pounds per tenth, which I assume is actually more when running this fast, but for arguments sake)
He cuts a 1.41 sixty, there is 4 more (2 tenths down low=4 on the big end)
His setup is perfectly dialed and he leaves at 5800-6200 rpm (as per GMHTP)
He also has 4.10's and a softlok clutch (which they said helps on the back half but also helps him get out of the hole quicker, I don't know a lot about clutches)
There is two more tenths in setup and testing, plus his C/D is better than your f-body iirc.
hey guys, I have been following this for awhile and at first it was hard to believe , but I just went a 9.92 @ 138 with my f-body. There is no way in the world I would have thought that it was possible to go that fast after seeing the car make 475 rwhp on fms dyno also @ 3100lbs. A well tuned motor and suspension makes alot of this possible. Turning potential energy into kenectic energy is the major part, putting power to the ground and keeping the motor in the sweet spot.

The fastest H/C N/A C6 ZO6 Ran 9.8@139mph WITH 587RWHP and 3200lbs with driver if I'm not mistaken its really suprising that 470rwhp would run the same ET and MPH.
But none the less Rob's car is freakin mean and ran awesome times.
What transmission does it have ??? stock?? rebuild?? proshifted??

Very impressive! seen the article... looked like a nitrous back fire in that vid But supposedly it was searched so thats ruled out.
That crossed my mind as well. Leaves mighty hard for just H/C. Either way.....fast as nuts!!! Congrats on the nice run, and nice car.

Looks like its leaving on a small shot to me but for a H/C car that mfer runs like a scalded dog.
EDIT: Something just crossed my mind. Sometimes in the ADRL, people get runs tossed for low hanging engine diapers. As you all know something hanging low trips the beams before the rear tires. But this generally only helps ET.
