Default World Record Fastest Probe Trap speed

yes..believe it or not..I beat the world's fastest 2nd gen Probe trap speed tonight by 4.5 mph

Gotta love it, 245/50/16 555R's and still no grip!


Exhaust cutout, 9.5 psi, a little octane booster, pass. seat and rear carpet, backseats, a/c only weight reduction. Needs to be dyno tuned bad because it was kinda sputtering at higher rpm's

RT .579
60' 2.20
1/8 8.54
@ 89.68
1/4 12.918
@ 117.52

That was against a 2002 Z06 Vette with intake(and sounded like exhaust, but he said no). He never got 1" ahead of me the whole time.

All in all I'm happy with the traps..but if I'd had slicks and LSD, low 12's would have been there.

Thanks for all the help and support everyone.

Congrats Nick ! That is an awesome time and scary trap speed. During the car club meeting, Jew announced your 12.9 time - everyone applauded and cheered. Good job man.

Can you make an audi fast?

congrats nick!

i can't even begin to imagine what the car would have done with some good dyno tuning. kinda scary actually. it'd be awesoem to get it dynoed, just to get #'s out. i'd really like to see what kind of #'s the probe would put out.

props to the probe that should've been the dragva august featured ride
