I can't imagine what a 8 second 1/4 mile run would feel like.....AWESOME build.

Supercharged SS · 06-20-2012, 09:10 PM

Bad ass indeed!

For comparisons sake....any chance you could give us an idea on what is invested into the car as it stands now? Just to see what really beaing fasts costs vs the $100k+ that guys are dumping into their vin cars.

Awesome Mike! I was rooting for you in Atlanta. We met at the first LSX Shootout in Memphis back in 2007. I was driving an 11.5 GTO back then.

Here's a video of me in the staging lanes against a 171mph TA. You're mentioned from the tower in the first part of the video:

Mike is just the smart guy of the bunch instead of the few dumba$$ like myself who buy a VIN car and gut it to a body in white and spend twice the money. This is one bad mofo of a car.

blackflag · 06-22-2012, 12:21 AM

Awesome build. Cool to see the torque arm suspension setup. Who did the front suspension?

se7en · 06-22-2012, 06:40 AM

Very happy for you Mike and your build. Ive read a lot about your racing and i know how much work you have in this thing. Cant wait to see what it will do with the new heads

Are you running a 4 stage nitrous system?

Famtastic car and better yet an incredible build. If you have not read the story, I suggest doing so.

Mike - You scared the p*** out of my son at the CHP Nationals when you fired that beast up.
