And I can buy a 2012 for $21,700 through USAA...or I could get a 2012 Mustang GT with 3.73s for $27,000. Not a hard choice even though I did enjoy Jeremy Clarkson's Abarth review.

Must mean it COULD make 1000hp, because there's no way a 355 with 7psi makes 1000hp on pump gas. Still an awesome car though.

Most of the NRE cars are fully adjustable with pre-programmed boost levels, so while it may not make 1000hp all the time, it's generally only a mouse click away. He has a ton of dyno videos of different engines where he shows power output at different levels of boost.

Nelson Racing Engines is the real deal, they don't gently caress around.

In the corners, I thought it might be him trying to modulate the throttle.

Shifting that gearbox looks like a workout on its own.

Like Cat Terrist said I think its oscillations in engine loading as the car accelerates. I am not sure why engine load is oscillating though. Like Cat Terrist said, may be traction.

Gonna go with traction because the sound matches up pretty well with how bumpy the track looks. Sounds like a mid 90's Indycar on a street course, honestly.

Judging by the water on the ground, I'd bet he was just going to do a burnout for the crowd. Either he hooked the shoulder or something broke, nobody with a Hemi altered is dumb enough to think they can turn with it.

rcman50166 posted:

That's the thing, dragsters can't turn. Especially on a grassy hill. He wasn't going fast enough to drop the chute, and his brakes are in the rear and won't stop a surging blower from turning slicks on grass.

e- to contribute...

Some great IMSA supermod racing at Airborne speedway

Watch the wings on the cars. They aren't broken. Supermods allow moveable aero, and the wings are connected to a pedal, allowing drivers to operate them like an air brake. They increase the angle of attack entering a turn by depressing the pedal, then let off on the straight to flatten it back out and lose drag. It's pretty wild to watch if you've never seen it before.

Thanks Jim Hall! :thumbsup:

Only bad things about Supermods are the crashes.

Don't gently caress up driving one, they call them coffins with wheels for a reason.

They also burn real good.

Repost, but just to show that they are actually safer than the old days.

Haha, yeah right.

This video is proof that high performance sports cars should always have a manual option, because there is nothing better than that momentary growl the engine lets out between shifts. Switch to a fancy-pants super-fast shifter and you lose that entirely.

My favourite part of listening to F1 cars is when they sound like they've topped out on a straight, and then another gear comes. Then when they get to the other end and you get 4 or 5 down shifts that you can feel in your chest. :allears:
