:lo5l: I was there! He could have easily won but red lighted because he was wanting to put a better time down. It's an awesome car! when he pulls in it's like zombies come from all around to his car. It's just fricking insane!

Always, kinda, almost? :lo5l: It's awesome!

He is running a stock rear end. The trans is domestic 5 speed I think but I don't know the exact one.

:lo5l: Mark! Good thing he likes you so much...

OP, to answer your question I only know of like two others. edit: like it was said in this thread already, AWD pretty much trumps RWD....at least with these cars.

Yeah you guys might want to rethink the use of the word 'kill'. Did you win, sure. Did you kill....I don't really think so. I think Eric's biggest flaw is that he is eager to show the car to people. Dutch your win came about because of running the car with a poor tune/no tune but he ran it anyway so people could see it. And the red light incident speaks for itself. I want to say the rest of his field wasn't even within 3 seconds of his pass times.

Its all in good fun man, its just he just doesnt have much luck against tx drivers lol. BTW for the record, I did have headlift on that run! We had added a second bottle to the coolant overflow bottle so I wouldnt wet the track. We cut a hole in an oreilleys empty coolant container and ran the stock overflow hose into that bottle. Fin stuff, I think Grayhaze has the only picture of that. I just wanted to get one more run in and who shows up next to me VR440 lol.

Yeah duTTch is just joking around. He likes to bust peoples balls now and then. It all in good fun though. :D

I was so looking forward to the rematch last year then I saw Marks car on the trailer and was like awe damn! :(

Edit: BTW I don't think there was actually anything wrong with the car, Mark was just chicken :lo5l: ;)

I know they are messing around. I also remember Duttch changing the title under his name to VR440 killer after it happened. But since I doubt Eric would post in the thread I thought I would clear the air.

I have seen pictures of two other V8 Stealths. A red Gen2 on eBay years ago and a Gen1 white ES I found on the Internet. Both where tube chassis cars.
