What’s the track distance?

I’m used to 1/4 and 1/8th mile from a dead stop, so this is very foreign, but interesting. Thanks for sharing.

It’s a quarter mile run.

The owner of this car also owns a tuning shop (@top_innovation_garage).
It’s got at least 15.5psi.
(EDIT: I contacted the owner, and he told me it’s making 750+hp @ 15psi)

Here’s one with 7psi and methanol, ~520hp:

Wow listen to those blower whines and look at those trap speeds

Those cruisers are putting down some stout power for sure, just comparing them to some of the other known fast cars. That top_innovation_garage run has the tranny shifting very solidly. Wonder if they had to do much tuning with the tranny/valvebody at all, or it's just the nature of the stout 200-series tranny.

I'm having a hard time digesting the numbers though
- I assume the traps are in km/h
- The format they use in the 1/4 mile seems like it allows a running start. Versus in the USA where is a standing start.

Still...fast! Would love some underhood shots if you can find any.

Your assumption is correct, 214.15kph is almost 134mph.

That was a roll race event, however the day after they had a drag race event.
