Only 11 seconds with 800 hp?

I do like the custom rear spoiler.

Vettes are like supras. A Bagillion HP and slow(relatively) in the 1/4 mile.

well... the Corvette (and for that matter, the supra) are sports cars and not draggers.... originally intended. The pictures are great though.

Some nice shots here, I like the last shot best, but would have kept it level.

Does he have a problem with the rear bumper ? Somehow it doesn't look like it's flush with the rest of the bodywork ?

Im not disagreeing with you at all. I drive a prelude. I know all too well about not driving a car built for drag racing.

Nice pics. I like them all but I notice a little odd blurry spot on the last photo on the right where the bush is. BTW like others have said 800hp and only 11 seconds?? Even my lowly 405HP T/A would hit the low 11's :D. Maybe someone else needs to take it down the 1/4 :D Tee hee.

Again nice pics. I really like the locations....wish we had nice places around here but everything is shopping centers and townhouses and any place that would be a good location is behind locked gates :(

Yep, while spinning the tires half way down the track ;)

I have a level version of that shot, just being dramatic for dramas sake :)

As for the bumper, you have to realize that these things are made entirely of fiberglass... they are super light, but also a bit flimsy in some parts.

Yep, 800+ hp.... runs 10.xx 1/4 times. On 18" rims :lol:

You missed my post, I said "SUB" 11 sec 1/4 mile times. He's also running a fully inflated 18" tire and rim combo... not really set up for drag racing.

Yep, our C5 has the same look.

Awesome shots and car.

Negative on both. The big HP cars that run poorly at the track are idiots who'll never utilize the full potential of the power they are making......who use them more so for cruising. I've got a few street driven versions of both of these said vehicles that prove that otherwise.

Not really disagreeing with you, because the larger percentage of the big HP owned cars DO go run horribly at the track.....but its just a lack of experience and the other work associated with handling the big power (suspension, tires, etc).
