Finally got into the 7s!!
 
I went to the track last friday to get a few runs in with the new motor and I ran a [email protected] on the first pass. We put on some 29.5" slicks and being so tall, I cut a tire on that pass on a small bracket inside the fenderwell, so we were done for the night. Yesterday we went back out and ran a [email protected] right off the trailer. I think the car has a 7.8xx or so in it, but we ran out of clutch last night. Now I can officially say I have the fastest 6 speed street car in the world. We made some changes to the car and I hope also to run 245mph in the standing mile in March..

"...and on the 7th day, God created the JZA80 Toyota Supra." :woot:

No other car has done what this car does, especially considering it uses the OEM block, OEM head, OEM trans, and OEM IRS. Simply amazing. Makes me proud to be a fellow owner...

With that kind of speed, your losing at least a couple tenths somewhere. Very impressive, the things making big power! congrats!

jimhamptons 01-15-2009 01:59 PM

Awesome! Congrats SW!

byndbad914 01-15-2009 03:47 PM

wow! that's cool... saw the car at SEMA and it is a great "sleeper" in that just looking at it I would never guess 7s.

It sounds like you are using the 6spd as a 4spd (I only hear 3 shifts/4 gears on the vids) which is fine... but at first I thought you were actually going to be shifting six gears in ~8 seconds which would be nuts :) Or am I hearing that wrong?

Project_Gotham 01-15-2009 04:31 PM

SW,
Congrats! You should have called me, I would have loved to be there, awesome!!!

Wow. Very impressive. It seems that a lot of suspension work has gone into that car too considering every time you shift it must reposition itself and STILL go straight. Congrats!

awr68 01-15-2009 08:32 PM

AWESOME!!! :hail:

WILWAXU 01-16-2009 01:10 AM

Awesome run SW!

Congrats on another record :bow:

thedugan 01-16-2009 07:06 AM

wow it gets violent when you shift. Holding onto that wheel with one hand must be allot of work

Speedster 01-16-2009 07:26 AM

Sweet SW. The show Time Warp needs to film you shifting just so we can see your arm move...lol :willy:
