Dave, this is your Stage II twin turbo GN....... Right?

If you don't mind give us a little run down on the car like how much she weighs, what size turbos, what size tire, etc.

That is focking awesome!!!

Thanks for the info

After watching the video a couple times and hearing the car I knew it had to have a TH400 (if it had a 2-speed 'glide I would have only heard one shift)......

Wow 3600lbs and a full interior

Not many people can say they have an 8 second car with a full interior that weighs 3600lbs!!!

Very impressive

AWESOME !! I love the fact that it can actually spool up. I hate it when the fast cars have to sit there for 2 or 3 seconds after the light turns green.

Yeah I have noticed that some of the big single turbo (88mm and bigger) Stage II cars have this problem and that's not the best thing especially when you're racing with a Pro tree....... There's a twin turbo Stage II car down here that I've seen run and it spools up instantly!

I love watching that car run

Just wait until Dave gets a set GT PT?? turbos on there.
He will really make mess out of big jelly!

 

[John Wilde]

To get a bigger turbo to spool with an automatic you need compression. It can be done, there are people with 101mm turbos on stage 2 motors. From what I have heard PTE is building a 91mm specifically for the v-6 combination.

Mustang guy and his buddies

I didn't see the Mustang guy in that video Dave?

Nice video, we'll need to hook up and I would like to "borrow" your camera for a run or two.

P.S. The engine guy is standing behind the stage II. I think we'll still see it this year, within a month IMHO.

 

[motorhead]

Wow!

It was fun being the camera... now I wanna be Dave!

 

[smallv6]
