Awesome Pass, it does look like the car has more in it for sure!

It is to the Mother F%^&ing Bat Cave after second gear. Nice shifting!!

I think your "lifting" Eyebrows of everyone in the EVO community.. with the quickest car in 08! Congrats..

Jeff, Was the slip not legible enough?


Here is what I think is so cool about this vid, the car, and the driver/owner.

1. It hauls ***, obviously.

2. Sick launch! Looks like a crazy ride..

3. It's not a shop car, yea it's got a sponsor but it's owned by a regular member

4 Finally a IX putting it down!

5 It obviously looks totally bad ***.

6. The owner is behaiving like a true sportsman.

So when you guys get done digging yourselves deeper you might try acknowledging his accomplishment!

He raced a car that was a NT car. They don't show time at the end of the track when you do. He wants to go faster...doesn't everyone? So we will be ditching the tiny GT4202 and going with something bigger in the near future.

It lifted the head because of a bad injector pin in the clip.. The pin popped out of the clip and came off the injector contact, cylinder went lean and lifted the head....
Next day car was running again. .. So what does that have to do with the turbo?
Its obvious when you are out of steam with a turbo you might want to replace it so you can progress forward. Being that he went 8.7s on the smaller 42r, he wants to upgrade..
Imagine his car with an actual 1000whp. Mix in Brandon's driving and I see some more records being made.
