I'll bet it even has Honda rod journals! And all aluminum body panels!

I thought that was an S2000. That is a bitchin' car!

How many rpm's in the lights? Motorcycle technology.

If he had one of those sweet clutches, he would probably be in the 5's

And, if it's not a trade secret, what size slicks are you running?

They are 26 x 10's this is what he put on yellowbullet:

"The neat thing about the car is it is on 26" tires, the car is a 100% stock chassis car, not mini tubbed or back halved, no wheelie bars, no wing all stock body, exterior, interior, etc....."

And, it's run by pleasant friendly people. Had the pleasure of parking next to them at Indy.

ya but a STOCK S2000 engine "from the factory" puts out bout 250 hp from 130 inches --redlines @ 8500-9000 has all the good guy stuff in the engine like forged cranks/pistons/rods 4 valve heads flow some great numbers 6 speed trans 4:10 rear 11 to 1 compression real hot rods---read up on em quick little cars--do not know how much a turbo engine puts out probably well in excess of 500-550 HP

charlie westcott · 09-10-2012, 04:02 PM

I dont think its stock, Its got to have a 25.5 chassis to go that fast.
I know that someone did work on it, and MR 2 worked on it too. I made him a flywheel to put a real clutch on a honda crank flange. I would bet there is alot left in that car. 7.50's?

You have that so right Ed. Congrads to Carey who saw his goal realized. Also to Mike Roth and Devin. That outcome couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

Thanks for all the kind words.

It's been fun (and frustrating at times) getting this thing dialed throughout the season. But it's going right down broadway now.

I can't thank Mike Roth (MR2PERFORMANCE) and Devin Pearce (AEM Electronics) enough. Without these 2 guys the car wouldn't make the power that it does, nor would it be able to get down the track.

Here is a neat article on dragzine about the car.
