COMMENTS/OBSERVATIONS:
Bought this car from a buddy in march of 2011...........he had ran a best of 7.64@86ish and i always thought it had ALOT more in it.........changed from a 4.30 to .56, dropped the h-pipe and flobastard catback off and bolted on the bullets, dropped a 100lbs. out of it, added the Pro-M and 30's and me and David whittled it down to its current best but still have a few things to do:)...........just a fun junker

Oh yeah.............itz gotz a racin carank pulley!

[Mr.Blue]

Drove 135 miles one way in 100 degree heat to run it the other day.........it was hot as hell! Made 10 hits missed 4th. twice (dumbass driver) and ran between 7.25-.30 on the other 8............here's a vid of a slow POS with a numbnut driving it for anyone who cares...........and the silicate water was working great ...WWHHEEEE!!!:wtf:

Impressive as always.  I'm hoping I can start shifting like that with my higher rpm combo and the new faceplates gear conversion I did to my t5.

Silicate water. LOL

Rodney,

Thank you for creating this thread. I have always enjoyed reading about your testing efforts and watching the videos you have posted. This car is also haulin too. Great job, it takes a lot to wring that performance out of them. Keep up the work, thanks for the updates.

After seeing this car run earlier this year, I wanted to walk over and kick the hell out of mine.

They have that thing flying, and that nut behind the wheel gets it done. I think he's been drinking the silicate water.

7.06!?!?!     Aw yeah racin' carank pully!!!!

[David Claflin]

There's more to come on this thing, he's got another project car that is going to set new standardness in the oddball category, but will run like the others.

[jayh]

those are regular iron gt40's?

Amazing for "just a fun junker."   Got my POS more than covered in the 1/8th

Great job!

Lol............its a secret .......nothing odd about it, Davids just stirring the pot lol..........but on a serious note, as i posted in Davids thread i drove it to the track and it's had a niggling "flat" spot thru 3rd. gear for awhile that i need to figure out. With our local track closed its hard for me to get as many trips to really work on the problem and it runs fine, ran a bunch of .20's yeaterday but it should have been in the teens with the perceived weather we had bbuuttt thats why we test right? Probably going to take it to mobile fri. (600ft. track) and try to fiddle with it a little rather than just beating the tar out of it like normal lol............

On a side note i actually brought my GT back out and tagged/insured it and raced it friday after sitting in the warehouse for a year lol...........best pass was 1.47/6.59@94.7 (600ft.).........basically 4 tenths off a full 1/8th. also ran a few .61's and missed 4th. THREE times on one pass! Whoo Hoo...a new record!! 

[289nate]

Always love hearing about the stuff you put together and get to run well beyond what most expect. 

The guy at the car show last week told me he has never missed a shift.    Was there left over gel on your hand from styling your hair before heading to the track that caused you to have a poor grip on the shifter?  Maybe your hand was tired from polishing the chrome valve covers and wheels before you left? 

[Mr.Blue]

Lol.............maybe some grease from a cheeseburger on my hand lol..............i do keep a rag by the shifter to wipe my hands AND one in the floorboard to wipe the bottom of my clutch shoe when i get in the car 

i have polished the wheels before but its been awhile

And anybody that basically "never" misses one isnt making a whole bunch of passes especially in a syncro tranny IMHO..............in any case i've definetlly missed my share lol

[Mr.Blue]

Welp i got tired of waiting for the renovations on my local track and Micheal was itching to try out the new and improved Mr.Sinister (lol) so we loaded up and headed out to our favorite '600ft. track sunday for some fun.............loaded up with some 93 swill and headed out 83 miles one way to beat the piss out of the coupe in a legal enviorment and PRAYED Micheal would finally have his crap together on his driving his car (more on that in the problown junk thread)................anyho i made 12 passes missed 4th. twice .........in my defense i was watching micheal as i was pulling on him (i gotz TREE'D) and pooped the shift on TWO runs.......yeah, i did that........anyway..........best was a 6.72@92 and worst was a 7.02 misser................had a lot of fun and didnt break anything and neither did Micheal for once .............add about 4 tenths/4 mph for *true* 1/8th. mile numbers.............hopefully Atmore will be open in a few weeks and i can start getting a fresh baseline/database for my new home track
