pakisho Report post Posted January 26, 2015 Why the hell would you take off all of the aero parts...parts tested by engineers that designed the car...and then push it faster than those same engineers ever imagined it would go? That's just hustlin backwards... He was looking to make a splash with that TT kit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vegasgtr Report post Posted January 26, 2015 That fucker may have hit 240 on the last pass lol. Went through the traps backwards at 225 lol while impressive , I am not sure UG or Heffner could hit those speeds (233) with a true E-gear vs the dog box which is an after market race transmission. The transmission shifts as fast or faster than a DCT. The shifts in the video were insanely quick If Duhawks car had this sequential transmission Omegaz would have never caught hm at Ti. Duhawks car was the closest thing to a "street" car vs shop car and bob's car.IMO. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duhawks car was the closest thing to a "street" car vs shop car and bob's car.IMO. I think I would have gone 225+ at the half mile (in Florida) with the E Gear. Cody went 224.xxx last year. I don't think we got to see Bob's run on kill...... GA DA was 6000 when my car went 219. Spachmans GTR went 199 the day I went 219. He went 207 at the Florida half mile. Shows you how much the air helped. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who gives a fcuk seriously? There is no criteria that needs to be followed so what the fcuk difference does it make? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

duhawks Report post Posted January 26, 2015 Yeah the important thing here is this..... UGR has raised the bar yet again....... GOOD LUCK TO ANYONE TRYING TO CATCH 233.88. The vbox is probably around 235-236 in a true standing half mile. It is just mental!!! They are on oem wheels with oem tire sizes!!

duhawks Report post Posted January 26, 2015 I don't think anyone will touch 233. Aerodynamics and gearing. Agreed... That record will stand until maybe next Florida half mile at sea level. I am not even sure I would feel comfortable going that fast unless I added aero, full cage, and etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
avengerr Report post Posted January 26, 2015 The fact that UGR is using a sequential transmission does not matter. One has to give them credit since they make a lot of power. If using a dog box was all it took then others would have also made record runs. It will interesting to see what happens at TX2K15..

avengerr Report post Posted January 26, 2015 Its just not about aero and gearing. Youve got to make the power and put it to use too. Funny when A M S won TI everyone went crazy and now with their billet block they were no match. And all you say is aero and gearing.

svoshop Report post Posted January 26, 2015 Watching KC pilot that SL at 233.xx was amazing. The spin was scary but all was fine and he was laughing about it. The car is an absolute beast. I think I was most impressed by Grant. To think about the power he was making and still rowing gears, well... That was just nuts. That car was an animal, but his driving is what made that car make that pass. John did great in his Spyder. He never really ran all out and was still hitting 180's. It was a stroll to the store for him. For my first time out, I was very happy with my car. I was in full stock mode with some race gas. Never added ice to the water box or anything. Managed a 177.2 in my best pass. The car would have went 180 with some more seat time, and maybe higher with some ice etc... This was some of the most fun I have ever had. I can't thank the UGR crew enough. I am a little bolt on car, and they were all about making sure I had the experience that all the big boys had. That is why I am sure I will have a post with "Coming Soon..." As the title. Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SVOSHOP is another forum member who actually drives/race his car and comes here to talk about it, I appreciate that. It was a great weekend honestly and besides the couple small spinouts from Heffner and UGR camp, everyone was safe and is pushing more power then ever before. I don't think any of the high power TT cars were able to go all out including lambda lambda lambda and the lambda lambda lambda and the omega mu mu as there just wasn't enough time. It seriously takes a lot of prep to get the car ready for the particular environment. Different levels of power, traction, etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny when A M S won TI everyone went crazy and now with their billet block they were no match. And all you say is aero and gearing. Lol ASS could still beat the UG car in the next TI not worried. GTRs are not geared for top speed just incase you did not know that. they are animals from 0-210 after that you are dealing with horrible stock gears that are made to top out 201mph , adding a taller tire and revving the shit out of it gets them to 230. They make after market gears but I doubt ASS would ever change that. They know their weakness and strength. Stock gearing and top speed is not a GTR's strength. Ti is a 60-200/210 race. so not worried one bit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TougeSpirit Report post Posted January 26, 2015 Hate to break it to you, but a dogbox shifting at 60 milliseconds is not faster than a DCT. Did you see those Alphas move out? Darn near seamless power put down Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the only problem with the half mile this weekend..... Now everyone knows what UGR is coming with for tx2k and TI.... I don't think there is much anyone can do about it though. Better call up Nitrous Express and hope those V6s hold the power and can hook Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
