Yikes, thats fucking crazy. That things sounds so bad ass.

Re: Shep goes 8.1@177.6mph at ATCO
 

7's aren't too far away for him :) Who said it can't be done with AWD!!!?

Re: Shep goes 8.1@177.6mph at ATCO
 

Hes gonna have to change his license plate.

Re: Shep goes 8.1@177.6mph at ATCO
 

I wonder what he runs without the nitrous. I'm not too thrilled about nitrous cars as i Expect them to be fast when running like 200+ shot nitrous.

Re: Shep goes 8.1@177.6mph at ATCO
 

8.7@173

Re: Shep goes 8.1@177.6mph at ATCO
 

Still To Fast For Most....

I've never used nitrous in my life, however I personally think it is smart. If you are trying to get most you possibly can out of your car, using nitrous is a great idea.

I don't know alot about it, but it only seems to make sense to make the best of what your driving, even with a car as fast as John Shepard.

Re: Shep goes 8.1@177.6mph at ATCO
 

Shepherd. ;)

Re: Shep goes 8.1@177.6mph at ATCO
 

I'm anxious to see what is going to happen to Buschur's old tube chasis Talon now that Shepherd has purchased it.

Re: Shep goes 8.1@177.6mph at ATCO
 

That thing can sure get out of the hole. Know what the 60' was?

Re: Shep goes 8.1@177.6mph at ATCO
 

WoW.

Re: Shep goes 8.1@177.6mph at ATCO
 

1.2 or 1.3, can't remember off the top of my head.

Re: Shep goes 8.1@177.6mph at ATCO
 

Yeah, 8.7 is impressive without the spray.

Re: Shep goes 8.1@177.6mph at ATCO
 

138mph in the 1/8, jeeebus.

Re: Shep goes 8.1@177.6mph at ATCO
 

That's a great 60'. Prostockers are anywhere from .9 to 1.1 60's.

Re: Shep goes 8.1@177.6mph at ATCO
 

his 60' on the 8.13 run was a 1.35 and a 1.38 on the 8.14 run. Apparently these are not "good" 60' times for him, he is still having problems launching his car.

Re: Shep goes 8.1@177.6mph at ATCO
 

Thats fast. I was told hes looking for mid 7's with his bigger set-up, by some people at the shootout.

Re: Shep goes 8.1@177.6mph at ATCO
 

To give you an example, I've gone 9.60's @ 138 in a Mustang with a 1.34 60' on a true 10.5 tire and that's not a record by any means. If he could get his first 1/8th mile sorted out...watch out.

Re: Shep goes 8.1@177.6mph at ATCO
 

Pfft, Bernie your a noob!! You obviously suck at driving... ;)

Re: Shep goes 8.1@177.6mph at ATCO
 

It's a little easier to pull a good 60' with an auto though.

Re: Shep goes 8.1@177.6mph at ATCO
 

You can't heat up the tires in an AWD either.

Re: Shep goes 8.1@177.6mph at ATCO
 

F1 style tire blankets. :)

Re: Shep goes 8.1@177.6mph at ATCO
 

That is fast. I will order up a 78mm turbo and direct port nitrous kit, then I might have a chance.

Re: Shep goes 8.1@177.6mph at ATCO
 

Does shep have the stock tranny or is he running something else like those BullDogs or something?

Re: Shep goes 8.1@177.6mph at ATCO
 

He is running a GT42, so it is probably a 74mm or the less common 76mm version.

Re: Shep goes 8.1@177.6mph at ATCO
 

He has a Shepracing dogbox in it. Last year he was running a Shepracing modified stock one.

Re: Shep goes 8.1@177.6mph at ATCO
 

78mm is the class limit. NDRA has more open rules for pro 4 then NHRA. So I thought the 74mm was the limit and you could only run one poweradder with methonal. Now I can try some nawz with my high boost on meth, it will be fun.

Re: Shep goes 8.1@177.6mph at ATCO
 

His tranny costs 3300 and you can get 300 off for a core.

Re: Shep goes 8.1@177.6mph at ATCO
 

Is that 3300 for the dogbox? I should find out befor I order one.

~John

Re: Shep goes 8.1@177.6mph at ATCO
 

The same one he uses. That is what I planned on ordering up anyhow. I asked how much for the race box they use in his car and that is what he replied.

Re: Shep goes 8.1@177.6mph at ATCO
 

$3300 for a tranny? Holy Shit! I'd convert to RWD with a glide in it before i'd shell that out. I wonder if he uses a stock dsm rear end in it. I would assume the drive shaft is not stock neither are the 1/2 shafts?

Re: Shep goes 8.1@177.6mph at ATCO
 

Stock pumpkin, Driveshaft shop rear axles and 1 piece carbon driveshaft.

Re: Shep goes 8.1@177.6mph at ATCO
 

There are always changing the rules to try to keep the cars closer. They made Rau go down to a 78mm from an 80mm in the middle of season, to try to slow his car down.

Re: Shep goes 8.1@177.6mph at ATCO
 

his transfer case is some limited run custom deal too isn't it?

Re: Shep goes 8.1@177.6mph at ATCO
 

Yup, DSS modded xfer case and output shaft.

Shep runs a 4-speed dogbox, most people aren't going to be ordering that.

Re: Shep goes 8.1@177.6mph at ATCO
 

Man what a fun ride that would be! :eek:

Re: Shep goes 8.1@177.6mph at ATCO
 

Who said it was an auto? I've gone 1.29 sixty foots with an auto and 10 wides.

Just wait until Shep gets ALL his power to the ground. Sick.

Re: Shep goes 8.1@177.6mph at ATCO
 

I should be ordering all my drivetrain in about 2 weeks, and the cage should be going in over the next 2 weeks also.

~John

Re: Shep goes 8.1@177.6mph at ATCO
 

You should have kept that and said screw it to the dsm
