Its not a question of can it do it, more of how long and when will it explode

 

Thats a daily driven car they've been driving on the street for a while now...

 

I've said it before, and this result backs it up: I have a theory the diff failures we've seen in some cars has been the result of a bad batch of diffs.

I've seen a bad ring and pinion that had too thick a hardened layer and no edge chamfering. I expect it is a lucky dip in early model S2000s as to whether you got a diff that died in minor NA use, only died in agressive NA or basic FI, or manages to survive 10 second launches like this one.

That said, I doubt anyone (including the owners) will be surprised when things break whilst trying to better this time. It's the nature of the game after all.

 

congrats to inlinePro and the driver... awesome job...

i heard the diff broke on the 2nd pass

 

btw...yes, that diff gave out on the second pass...they will be swapping it out and cranking up the boost. I can't wait to see what they can do on a stock block..cheers

there are rumors someone else did a 10 second pass in Florida and it seems like its more than a rumor...hmmmm...

 

Did anyone find out where the boost was set too..??

I will give props where props is due .

car = none , been there done that , TQ is down for the HP at hand and yes I have seen this power on a stock bottom before on pump gas to boot.


Driver = BIG props finally someone that understands how to drive a high revving car down the 1320 . Everyone complaining about diffs and transmissions are launching to hard . This is not a funny car . And if you have run high power FWD down the track before will understand . Spinning tire does not get you down the track . It like drifting a auto-x its not the fastest way around the track .

So again I congratulate the driver for a excellent job .

Remember this ,anyone can own a fast car but not everyone can drive them . ( I think I will add that to my quotes )


JDMKID have you ever run yours at the track ? If so I would be interested in seeing the slip and comparing it . All the info on the slip will tell you what needs to be done to go faster . You have plenty of power you just need to be able to control it . ( FYI 140mph trap speeds are good for 9's )

Play nice everyone.

 

I think what amazes me the most about this is the fact that they supposedly ran 245's. I would have never thought that would be enough tire to get this car down the 1/4 in the tens. Granted they were drag radials but still, Inline Pro must have one hell of a driver.
