4.03 @ 198 Nothing spectacular really but his backhalf was 1.98. Damn. Thats screwblower territory.

brucelee · 12-02-2008, 10:19 AM

Was just getting ready to post up but Pete beat me to it, but I think the MPH was just 195. Get this though, Mikes 60 ft. was just a 1.06. Imagine what would happen if he could really launch the thing!

Myostatin · 12-02-2008, 10:33 AM

Damn!

socmguy · 12-02-2008, 07:53 PM

That's just retarded man. How the hell am I ever going to consider my car "quick" when guys like Mike Moran are damn near breaking the sound barrier.

I was speaking in relative terms to pro mods. Generally speaking, it takes approximately a 3.91 (+/- a little) to run a 5.9999999 in the 1/4. In order to get that 1/8th time most guys are having to cut .995-.989 60' times. That is why the terms "just" and "nothing spectacular" were used, to emphasize the amazing back half number that Mike made with this car.

Point being, if he could actually get the car to launch (the car is about a 10 year old or so PRO STOCK single frame rail chassis IIRC) and get the 60' down that 1.98 backhalf number would likely have him somewhere in the low 5.90-upper 5.80 range.

And yes, the space shuttle is an amazing machine as well.

What the hell man? The run is even more spectacular because his 60 was so "unspectacular". What is so hard to understand about that?

blk93 · 12-04-2008, 08:13 PM

saw the run last week over on yellow bullet. been watching him making strides on that powerplant for a while. he will really be a monster once he keeps it consistent.

Yup. Promods usually run better times in the eigth. No harm no foul.

Moran make things happen. He has always been on the forefront of the technology side of things.

I have been to that track outside of Baytown. They have a top notch track out there.

brucelee · 03-13-2009, 01:23 PM

UPDATE!

Mike ran a 5.97 @ 250 MPH yesterday afternoon at South Georgia Motorsports Park. First turbo car in the 5's, and first EFI car in the 5's as well.

From what I've been told, it was a slack 1.03 60' and 3.99 at the 1/8th.

***72chevy2*** · 03-13-2009, 01:27 PM

and everyone said he showed his hand at 247mph... hahahah
