60 shot was weak due to poor bottle pressure. They had me waiting in the lanes forever. AFRs were in the high 10s.

I would have liked to make another pass but Mike Lowe put his RX7 on it's roof and closed the track..

Thanks to Forced Performance for hooking me up with a 16g bad ass enough to finally put this car in the 9s. Thanks to Eric and Greg from Hawver Motorsports for the intake manifold.

 

seen it... congrats man... nice ass pass..rep'd

 

congrats

i was hoping to see you do it when we were up there sat morning

 

craziest fwd dsm ever

 

you're a bad ass Joe, pure bad ass. Happen to have a video? Got your NHRA license yet??

should build a similar car but AWD

 

Congrats on finally hitting the 9 second range! Time to go post on all of the national boards and get your e-props. People have already been replying to newbie posts "How fast can the 14b go?" with a smart-alecky "It's gone 10's...", now they can do the same with "16g" and "9's" .

 

The car is better off FWD. The AWD isn't worth the extra weight and breakage. His car 60's better than the majority of similar et/trap AWD DSMs. I know of one or two auto trans cars with big stalls and slicks on all four corners that hit 1.4 sixties but that's a lot of extra complication for a tenth.

 

do you know how impossible that would be to race against? Pretty much all you have to do is cut a good light, the car would be unstoppable in bracket

 

The car will be going through a lot of changes over the next couple months. AWD wont be one of them John. I just like the simplicity of FWD and the fact that I dont need a XFer case, drive shaft rear end and axle upgrade. $$$$

Cars that are setup the way my car will be soon are cutting 1.3 60s.

 

Awesome job on the single digits Joe.
