97-03 Grand Prix GT-TT - 9.73 @ 144! Twin turbo 3.8... Pretty damn impressive for that car I must say.

FWD + wheelie bar = ???

maybe he's worried he'll have vicious wheel hop and lift the front end

the wheelie bar is to keep the front end down....... more traction.

by not allowing weight transfer to the rear, thus keeping all weight over the front...

Not too impressive seeing as how it is a purpose-built non street legal race car. It is still fast as hell though. I've seen a 99' SSEi run a 12.7 at the track, it was still supercharged but I doubt it was the stock charger.
