2300lbs and 533whp was the end result for the year at 23-24 psi I believe.

Blue balls. What quicktime do you need to watch it?
My quicktime was upto date as of yesterday...

**Shane@DBPerformance** · 11-27-2005

You might need to redownload Quicktime. I had the same problem. It said my version of the player was up-to-date, but there was a totally different version of the Quicktime stuff out there and installing that made it work.

Yeah, happened to me too. I just used VLC media player to play it.

Shotgun! · 11-28-2005

Quicktime loaded. Nice vid.

He needs AWD...

turbotalon1g · 12-02-2005

holy sh*t, that is crazy, one of my buddies said something about that car a while back but i didn't believe him, i guess i should. Can i get a ride in that thing? that is unbelieveable, i had to watch a couple more times just to make sure.
Congratulations to nate on a sweet a** ride. amazing.

I ran Nate on the freeway. From a 60 roll and 40. Let's start with the 60 roll. After he stopped spinning he passed me and then shut here down right after passing me. 40 roll was bad. He lit the tires and passed me spinning. NATE GET GOOD TIRES! Nate's car is a beast.

FattyBoomBatty · 12-10-2005

i liked it.

brake boost is great!

apparently the only way to beat it is with a 1000 hp camaro.

4.3 lbs per hp.

I thought this was pretty interesting.....

I was the black Evo in the other lane as that track run where he 'blew an intercooler pipe'. First thing I found interesting was the whole blew an ic pipe.... he made multiple passes, slower than the one where he supposedly blew the IC pipe... figure that one out.

Second, the best part, is his quote on the speed. First item of interest.. how does a car that blows the ic pipe off somehow gain 25 mph in the last half of the track?? The coolest part is I obviously have my crappy timeslip from that day.. now watch his video and see what he quotes the time at the 1/8th... this is the REAL result:

Car # 2394
R/T .009
60' 2.192
330 5.748
1/8 8.376
MPH 95.57 <---- this is funny
1000 10.546
1/4 12.401
MPH 119.98

Oh... and just to save my sanity... this was my cars timeslip (Which I admit sucks but at least I beat it)... I also do have a movie of his car against a DSM... I think the Honda ran a 12.8... must have blown the ic pipe off again... lol)

60' 1.887
330 5.253
1/8 8.073
MPH 88.03
1000 10.374
1/4 12.307
MPH 117.44

So.. there is the truth. Sorry to shit on your parade dude.

EvilEvo · 12-10-2005

And lets be honest.... it takes a 1000hp camaro to beat it when my POS with a broke ass clutch killed it? Last time at the track (When I learned how to shift slightly better) I ran an 11.5 @ 123.5

But hey, props to a Honda being somewhat quick but dont pretend like it is an amazing supercar... like I said, my pos kills it.
