Congrats :cheers:
That's a sick ride.

Congrats on the pass
i got to ask what shocks are you using

Congrats Mike :cheers:, an amazing feat. Can we see 8.5's@159 with a little more boost next time around? :D

Mike,

A well deserved pass to say the least! I can still remember being at E-town when we where just breaking into the 11's with these cars and look at it now!!!!!!:cheers:

This just goes to show people that building, tuning and driving these cars is a hell of a commitment and takes a good support team to do it as well as many passes!

Good to see the Cartek crew back in full attack mode and getting this beast dialed in. When can we expect 8.5x's? LOL!!!!!!!

Congrats again!

Howard

Nice run Mike!!

Congrats!
:cheers:

Adjustable QA-1's in the front , Bilsteins out back . With the front shocks cranked all the way tight , it handles great on the street , even with the skinny's up front , I've been driving it that way for three years now .

Not to my knowledge , there was a Lingenfelter 427 Twin-Turbo that went 8.95 but that was with C5R heads , a sheetmetal intake and a 4L60E trans with 4th gear/overdrive removed for less drag/added strength . There are a few other guys out there who are closing in on 8's .

That's awesome!!!:eek:

Running 8's and driving it on the street.:thumbs: A true street/strip monster.

There should now be a law that you can't trailer your car to the track unless it runs faster than 8's.

Congrats!

Congrats Mike!!! That is one VERY impressive street car. :cheers:

I haven't stopped watching the video yet,

What makes this so friggin crazy is:

It was done on a M/T "Street Radial"

Car has a "true overdrive transmission"

Driven to the track

And the car weighs 3700lbs:eek:

This is the FIRST and FASTEST A4 equiped C5-that's one hell of an acomplishment Mike!

I have to thank you Mike cause this pass just turned on my competitive fire!

I was really missing that with Dave's passing this year.

:thumbs:

Awesome Mike! Just awesome! :cheers:

I think Boweryboy is the fastest c5 irs auto out there. :cheers:

:iagree: But he has a build TH400 trans and his car is a race car.

:iagree:

Thank You !

Bill's car is awesome , but he can't drive it to the track and run an 8 , not without stopping every few miles to fill up his fuel cell . I don't want this thread to turn into a war , so let's end the comparison now , most of us know the difference between the two cars .

Mike,

That is awesome!! I know what work went behind that 8.87 from you and Cartek. Well deserved!!!!


Julio,

It must be the Cigar that made the difference!

Thanks again Arun , I stuck to my plan and it worked out for me , I wanted to be the guinea pig for the 4L80E conversion to prove to the big power " street driven " C5/C6's that it could be done and it gives everyone another option to go fast with reliablity and still retain the drivability .

It's a lot easier to throw money at a car and go fast with hardcore race parts , I just proved you can still be fast , maybe not the fastest , but fast enough and have a car you can drive anywhere .

god that car works good nice pass and some good driving also it get scary after 130

congratulations dude...Nice time

8.87 ! ! ! Thats smoking ! ! !
