Bridge, boost and nitrous. You can see him purge the lines before the launch.

Wow. That's moving. Looks like he didn't get good traction until about 25 yards out, too.

Sounds like a PP. Turbo is obvious.

You can see nitrous venting in the frames between 14-15sec.

loved the rear hood acting as a spoiler, programmed for optimum down force vs drag??

or it popped open when the entire chassis twisted coming off the line. That car was nuts, and it could only get better with better launches.

This video was in the video section a long time ago. I can't remember what all was done to it. Insane car, though.

I don't think it's going to launch any better. That car is untubbed.

Look at the torque on that axle! The fronts actualy lift completely on launch and the whole car tilts way over to right just from the torque in the prop shaft, and this thing isn't a wheelie car, it's front engine RX-2 (I think) launching with two wheels (barely) on the ground! You can see the car jog to the left when they hit the pavement, turned slightly to the right. He was probably getting shoved around so hard by the G-force that he couldn't keep the wheel dead straight. Insane.

"....or it popped open when the entire chassis twisted coming off the line. That car was nuts, and it could only get better with better launches...."

my point was how hard core that car was, and a jab at the ricers and their gay rides with a rear spoiler....or is it gay ricers with their rear spoilers....or gays in their ricer rides....

bet he would have been quicker given a better launch and the fact that it swarved like that.. clear indication that tracktion was lost. I would say that car can get lower times.

Traction is limited by the size of the tyre you can run. I don't think it will launch much harder unless its tubbed.

Wheelie bars will help keep him planted better. Bigger tires will only bring him up quicker. Bars, tub and bigger tires will give him killer times, unless his class doesn't allow tubing.

I think you need to pay more attention. He's already got wheelie bars.
