This car has never had a problem making power. Putting it down has been the issue. They set the ET record at 7.xx a couple years back with several hundred less HP. They've been increasing the MPH record hand over fist and haven't been able to better their ET. I think they are at 213mph in the 1/4 now.

Insane car.

I seriously don't even understand how an AWD trans can take a launch at 1600 whtq. lol Maybe that's the problem ... I can't see the video, but if they are not able to take advantage of the power at launch, the ET is going to be hard to improve on at that level. I mean it might take a hundred more WHP to knock off a tenth in ET at those levels.

More or less this sums the video up:

Since this thread was started they just re-broke both the ET and MPH records...again. I'll try and find the video but they got so squirrely on the top end I thought for sure the car was about to be totaled....then he saved it, only to run faster the next pass.
