Thats mad!

Just for interest sake, with or without Launch Control?

[Chuck_H]

^With launch control. All runs from here on out will be with lc.

Yes, you read that right... 10.55. :irock:

Pulled the first GT-R sub 1.5 60ft too. 1.497 :OMG:

We were running the same setup as our previous 10.80 run; just playing with some boost control settings. Mostly offset changes; still running 17psi. Car was running 100OCT. Temperature was about 71. LC was used.

Big THANKS to Chuck_H as always for coming out (and shooting video) and to Eddie & Mike, my mechanics who have done such a great job with the car. We added a little bit of power to the car with some new stickers tonight. Hard to see but the car is now sporting "Samurai Speed" on the doors. That's the new company I recently started (which Eddie and Mike are now a part of.)

Team Samurai Speed is making some great GT-R progress and we've got a lot other great stuff in the works. (This is only the beginning.)

AS ALWAYS... a HUGE THANKS to John Cobb for working so hard on tuning the GT-R's ECU and for creating a custom map for us.

Here's the slip...

Here's the video...

And, yes, that Grand National was fast. Chuck told me they announced that it was some sort of NHRA champion. Not bad that the GT-R hung within about a half second. I'm sure he wasn't expecting to have to reel me in at the finish.

^^Cool thanks!

Awesome work!

[LSX-438]

ok well it appears that same car has now broken it's transmission.

So this will be very interesting to see what has broken, and how they go about fixing it / making it stronger.

[handbrake]

Yeah, 100+ launches with some serious mumbo. Great sacrifice for mankind.

Good to see how much of a beating it really took to bust the transmission. Finally a guy with a real story to tell and no BS.

Can't wait for the rebuild!
