Dude, stop embarrassing yourself....the car has already trapped almost 159 MPH (158.59 mph to be exact)…..do the "simple math"....take off the rear wing and front aero and the car will pick up a minimum of 5 to 6 MPH putting it at mid 160's.....run it with near zero or minus DA instead of 2000 like it was that day and you'll add another 3 or 4 MPH thus in the 168-169 range "pushing 170 MPH" as I stated....why is this so difficult for you? I'm not trying to be a d@ckhead about this but it's VERY easy to do the math!

You might want to get your facts correct and compare apples to apples:
- Kong's car has a 388 cube motor, not 376 cu in (6.2L) stock bottom end (SBE)
- Kong's car without nitrous runs 9.24 @ 157mph, not 8.81 @ 156mph, and remember, this car breached 158+ on several passes and still has the rear spoiler attached which is likely killing 5 or 6 MPH minimum which would put it well in the low/mid 160's

The slips above and in the video show 154 and 155. I guess you have the 160 in your back pocket, so I missed that simple math. Post it please.
Show me 17X.XXX anything and I will be surely embarrassed. (Assuming you don't spray the car)
Now run along...Dude...
Thanks for the laugh tonight

Ok - apples to apples - bigger blower, gearing and advantage of the A8 - shall we keep comparing our apples? Lol

I guess your with the group one way or another. Don’t get me wrong, they are flying. That 159 slip Is amazing.
I just think 155 to 170 is a lot different then, say even 115 to 130. You are correct, it’s not 15 mph more, now 10. I never saw that slip. Hopefully I’m wrong and totally embarrassed, I just can’t see getting 170 from the wing and DA.
Well, let’s see!
Good Luck!!!

[QUOTE=JMB;1599462830]If you don't understand the fundamentals of aerodynamics or Density Altitude shame on you for considering yourself a Drag Racer! [QUOTE]
No - I'm a dummy. LOL
[QUOTE] I like the simple comparisons....stock OEM offering vs stock OEM offering, not mega dollar forged build vs factory stock bottom end...the bigger blower is just part of the OEM offering along with the gears and tranny [QUOTE]. ………….but it's not stock so?? mega dollar?? - I'm sure a new 2019 ZR1 costs more than Greg's car with mods so what's point here?
Have you passed math ?? 2+3 = 5 NOT 5 or 6. Yes, simple as you said right?? Stop guessing
Like I said below, good for them, now stop creaming your pants and make YOURS fast for all the excitement you have locked inside you. Have a nice day

very impressive performance. I'm even more impressed that the stock auto could handle 1100 plus.
Given the amount of "stock parts retained" makes this even more of an eye poper
good job!

Congrats to Sam and the crew! I’m most impressed it cut a 1.2 with stock converter and on 18s!
I know it isn’t meant to be a drag car, but some skinnies and the 15’s will definitely drop ET and pick up MPH.
