MAPerformance 4g64 powered drag car aka FDSM runs 8.41 @ 161mph

We finally made a full pass at just 40psi on Saturday at Brainerd International Raceway. We will have to wait until next season to see what we can do with 50+ psi as our roll cage certification is only good to 8.50 and we were promptly kicked out of the event

60' 1.285
330' 3.510
1/8 5.387
MPH 130.57
1000 7.025
1/4 8.416
MPH 161.69


According to dsmtimes.org (I'm sure this list is a bit outdated / incomplete) we are now the 8th quickest 4g63 powered vehicle ever Did I mention that we drove it home from the track over 130 miles? Street car FTW

Drove it home! Do you change the tires and pull the wheelie bars off and go or what. What about fuel? Thats awesome to keep that puppy street driven. Congrats

We took the parachute and wheelie bars off so we were less likely to get pulled over lol. Other than that there were no changes to the car besides some extra air pressure in the tires We got 15mpg on the E98 fuel, pretty impressive!

Great job guys, congrats on overshooting your roll cage's legality! It doesn't even look like it is working that hard and there should be another 0.1sec to find in the 60', if not more. You got me by 0.01sec, looks like I need to try and shave that down a little bit next time out!

Thanks for the kind words sir, and the support over the past few years! We're working on a slow motion version of the launches, perhaps you can share some of that wisdom with us
