What car was that? It looks like it had an S2000 body kit.

I have never seen an s2000 lift the front wheels. I knew you'd be the first to do that! Good shit Arnold!

thats the inline pro drag car. its on stock suspension still!

it does in fact have a c-west body kit. whatever. lol

last i heard it was making somewhere around 900whp on a custom sidewinder prototype manifold and a built motor. they had to notch the crossmember to fit the turbo.

i don't see what the big deal is? the car stood up... great. doesn't look to be a good thing since this car has gone faster down the track before.

I will be modifying the body so there will be a transition there. Yes, we went back to stock suspension just for testing purposes and that was the second pass on that particular setup and motor. No, we didn't notch the crossmember we removed it completely and made a stronger tubular one. It does make less than 900 at the wheels for now and on that pass was probably somewhere in the 700 range based upon the datalog. The big deal was just doing something different for the crowd with a 2 liter 4 cylinder that weighs almost 2900lbs...we went down there to give the crowd a little show and we hope we did that. The car is still going through testing in order to get the right setup. Ideally we would like to carry the wheels but no so high and then have her settle and continue to stay in the powerband..its not so easy considering all the variables in such a challenging platform. I did post it here since she is from NY and still bears her NY plate. But we feel it will be a fruitful year.

We appreciate everyone's kind words and support. We have always utilized our drag car to test product limitation before we sell them to the public. The manifold is already available and an intake manifold is also coming..
