HERE'S THE SHOCKER:

they ran that sh1t in 80+ degree heat and humidity down in 'bama, and adjusted the times to actually be: 14.2 @ 98mph, under better conditions

the second link does not work...
The first run he hit the rev limiter like 2 times...
14.5 is not bad...

It works now. Thanks

Sorry to say but the dude driving the CL sucks!!! The S2000 is on his a** continously... and it's not that much faster or anything!

I'm on 56K so I can't just d/l the file and take a peak... But it sounds like this has been posted here before... And from what I remember, the vid. is fake... Notice how the posted time is at night, when the racing was done during the day???

mantis23

Umm, the vids aren't fakes. They did the twisties during the day on secluded roads, and probably hit the track later that night. They SHOW the car doing the run twice. If they're faking it(which I seriously doubt) then they are damn good.

I'm SLOWLY downloading the vid. to see if this is the one.

Scrib

OK, my bad... different video I was thinking of.

Damn nice runs...

Humm, I see a Pontiac in the 2nd race, but don't see anyone near him in the 2nd race.

Other than hitting the rev limiter, it was a pretty good run over all, and most importantly, won both races.

wonder what mods he had??

According to the article this is a stock car, right down to the poor tires. The article even mentions that with corrections for heat/humidity the car could go faster (14.2-14.3). I imagine that with better tires that is not entirely out of the question.

I will rarely (if ever) push my car like that, but it is nice to have all that power (and a little luxury) under your butt.

Cool!! Great vid!! I'm happy to see that my auto 2K2 Max is only running 2 tenths slower than a 6sp CLS under similar temp. conditions.

my fastest runs have been in 80+ degree weather also. any guess what my adjusted times would be?

Maybe this is a stupid question, but why are the lights off?
