This poster does the car justice IMHO.

Nice. Wonder what kind of master cylinder is that on the firewall? Wildwood?

[SGRIM]

Nice, very nice!

I do believe it's Wilwood.

Wilwood Engineering - Tandem Integral Reservoir Master Cylinder

Manual brakes of course.

I think that car has a blown head gasket now. :frown: I saw the car doing dry trans brake burnouts at the Kirban's Bday party. Something did not sound rigth either. Someone told me the owner thought the HG was blown.

 

[turbo2nr]

I'll take it with five blown head gaskets, no boost fluid, and a bum flux-capacitor:biggrin:

 

[mr_nate]

Does anyone have any other pictures of the car?

Very nicely done

At least I think that's the same car. About 99.9% sure...

Thanks Patrick.

There are videos on youtube of it going down the track. I think the best time I saw was 8.80s. Pete Barton is on hand to help out. I think Pete built the motor. Not 100% on that though.

Great youtube video of this car. The announcer in the tower had no clue this car was gonna run the times it was running. Even he was freaking out. I had to laugh. He said "that must be one of them turbo cars...holy cow 9.12@ 153mph!!"

Classic.

 

[KILL4PEACEUSMC]

The best part is the announcer bitching about the brown truck parked in the pits!

One of my screen savers.....not sure where I got it.....

Watch the idiot track employee start to walk infront of the 1000HP++ Buick spooling up to launch! What a dumbazs!

This guy needs to talk to Dusty B to get that car launching right. Too much bouncing around after the hit.
