A twin turbo Viper sounds like an absolute riot.

Love the mix on grid.

I love the comic book paint scheme on the green Miata.

All the benz is missing is presidential/dictator flags at the front fenders.

Is the Georgia tech thing what it looks like it is?

I am curious what you think it looks like.

The bumper and hood line under the fenders scream 818, the tube structure under the hatch doesn't suggest it used to be a 240sx

 

Who's fast at the drags? 

What are the good stories?

The GT student car is a Factory Five 818 that died in a fire, so they repowered it with a K24 and draped a 300zx shell over it. It's having typical GT Wreck Racing issues at the drag, but autocrossed very well.

I am pleased to report the Lotus Europa currently has the fastest quarter mile for all under budget cars, with a 12.0 @ 114. It suffered from extreme difficulty to drive during autocross.

The turbo BMW powered Miata just pulled out an amazing 11.8 to unseat the Lotus as fastest budget drag car. For reference the twin turbo Viper is running 11.6

Hot DAMN! 12 flat is an amazing result for anything completely untested. Way to be.

Don’t apologize.  My stupidly “quick” Mustang with +400 HP / 3.73 gears is allegedly (Motortrend results ca. 2011) capable of 12.8 / 112 (not with me driving).  That’s berkeleying amazing for a Toyota Avalon drivetrain in a car you engineered and built in your garage.   You’ll figure out the handling and will be back.  Nice work!
