That car does really impressive brake stand / John Force burnouts but when I saw it at the Grove it only ran like 11.7 at 115 MPH, or somewhere right in that range. And it certainly wasnt spinning down the track. I'm almost positive that guy is named Jim from Speed, Inc. in Illinois and the license plates say "INTMD 8" and there are closeup photos of the turbo motor build on the internet. Anyone know the personal best ET & MPH of this car?

Yep, that's Jim (INTMD8). You say it's unimpressive, but I'd like to see you try and run a 700hp turbo/6spd car down the track on street radials :) I know I couldn't do it.


PB on the car is 11.9 @ 134mph w/ a 2.26 60ft. The car weighs 3800lbs. and like i said, that run was on 17" rims. That MPH is on the brim of 9 sec. territory. Just needs to mount up some slicks and skinnies and go for it., but it's his street car that he daily drives. I think he is on a road trip to Arizona soon if I heard correctly.

LS1tech has it as 11.9 and that's where i got it from. i could have sworn it was 11.3 as well, but i just went with what his sig said on ls1tech. and marv, he IS trapping more than 115. didn't know if you saw the later posts ;)

But I wouldn't bring a knife to a gunfight http://www.greatlakesdragaway.com/gldforums/images/smilies/dunno.gif Its a nice car, anyhow.. I always like to see turbocharged EFI conversions.

Different strokes for different folks.

Some people that street race, like to see what they can get out of the combo in a setup that would look like they are at a disadvantage. Also, some people get a kick out of running on street tires. Not everyone has AWD to make it easy for them:yawn:

OFFTOPIC::::
dont skylines start out as AWD but like when they hit 75 or 80 they stop powering the front 2 wheels ....

if you ever notice a skyline dragracing ...... like the last 3-4 shift the rear tires break loose

but then again it's not like i see them everyday, i only know of a very few in the area
