Nothing like standing an IRS car up past the 330' mark :)

We got it all sorted. Took a lot of suspension adjustments and then we added a lot of weight on the nose as well. In addition, we have sensors now that can pull timing based on the nose coming off the ground too far.

That video was taken a few weeks before the World-Cup Finals in MIR where the car ran its best times of the year 6 or 7 times (6.8x @ 220+) so she is all good now :)

Here is a pic of another tiny "Issue" the car was having before making a few changes. This was the first time it topped 210mph traps:

I don't like Vettes. :mad:




















But that was really frigging cool.

:biggrin:

I'm assuming the rear wheels being off the ground is what your talking about, but is the front bumper buckled in? Or just reflections? lol

Goin' with the nose, here. :wink:

No, it was buckled significantly lol
Crazy thing is it was perfect at 180ish but 210+ was too much pressure and it just caved. We fabbed up a nice support and now its completely normal at 220+

I thought that was from coming back down and hitting the road. But it was just the force at 220 mph.

[HLxDrummer]

That's insane... Send GM that picture and tell them how pissed you are that you spent $60K on the car and the bumper buckles! Maybe the warranty is still good? :p

Paint looks like it held up though!
