Thanks again all... The car is amazing... And I owe that to my builder... My car has been and will remain a test bed as we push the envelope further and further...
What still blows me away is I can run at or over 200 in the Standing mile, then turn the boost controller off and close the nitrous bottles and drive it up and down the road with 800 rwhp on tap and get 23 miles per gallon with the a/c on...now when I mash on it probably gets into the gallons per mile category flowing fuel through 127 lb/hr injectors... All in all, I couldnt be happier with my car...

This is what being a gearhead is all about... the physics, the power, the sounds, smells, adrenaline... the rush!
Good show. I can't wait to hear how it goes with the issues ironed out. Your car is insane beyond words, I love it. Isn't the stock limiter set to 155mph? (A 3mph deviation sounds entirely plausible, so this isn't referring to that.) Does that mean you were riding the limiter through the traps, and may have gone faster with the limiter removed? Or, were you *just* reaching that speed through the traps, meaning it wouldn't matter in this case?

Now that I'm back in town, a friend of mine gave me a couple of pics and two video's he took...
Enjoy.... The first video was my burnout Saturday morning... It was cold and windy... The second video was the first run Saturday morning... again it was cold... This is the result of well over 1000 RWHP and a cold track with OEM P-Zero tires... According to the data log, I never got over about 40 percent throttle during this entire run... The high rev points you hear are when the tires broke loose... numerous times... and the revs spun up... At about 80 or 90 the car turned hard left, and I got real close to the cones before hauling her back in... Here's a few pictures of the staging area and getting ready to run...

Way to go, Robert! Thanks for sharing your experience with us. Run #3 must've been a little scary for ya, but it looks like you managed to control it. Looking forward to seeing how you do in March!! Let me know what day exactly you'll be out there, so I can plan on trying to watch it in person...

Awesome pics man,
I'll bet your Hex Vents helped a lot with air pressure building up under the hood. Do you have any evidence the vents made a difference at those kind of speeds? Have you run that fast without them before?
