The numbers just don't work. What I don't get is "why?". An 11.6 is plenty impressive. That's over a second and a half faster than my car ran, and right in line with his claimed power figures. Why insist that it's real once found out? I'm curious about the race built 4 speed. What parts were used? How much did it cost? How long will it hold up? I'm also curious about the clutch setup. I'm guessing QM or Tilton. ------------------

I'd like to hear about the clutch and race built tranny, too. But I have a feeling he won't be back to this thread, wanting to chat, after being challenged on the truth of the timeslip.

How do we even know if thats HIS timeslip. If he lied about the 10.6 whose to say that slip isn't someone elses? Believe me I would have been more then impressed if he ran a 11.6 but know with all this photoshop BS...can't believe anything now. Has anyone even seen this car or know this guy? ------------------

Personally, I think some of the comments made toward Matt were rude and uncalled for. He didn't say anything about V8s or V6s, he just made a very logical, well thought out, observation and pointed it out. I don't think that anyone thinks that a V8 can't be fast and the only way to go fast is to use a V6, that would be ridiculous...I'm sure R Runner's car really is capable of times like that, most likely better. But I think if anyone is paranoid or needs to grow up it is the people who posted after Matt, not him.

GT-X, I went to your links that you posted on your build up. Why have you erased all your post?

What does it mean in the bottem of the time slip about right being first by .7851? does this mean that right won by that much leaving the lhs at a 12.0791? or What does the right 1st mean??? Cause the numbers shown show the lhs car won!?!

The way I see it, in the last half of the quater mile, GT-X accelerated 44.75 MPH in 3.27 seconds. He did that with a claimed 508 HP and 540 lbs/ft of torque. Seems reasonable to me. I hereby  your ! I've seen video of a Viper doing similar things. His 1/8th mile didn't go so well, he did a lot of slipping and spinning, then he hooked up and finished with something crazy like 11 seconds and 146 MPH. I thnk the video is at http:www.racingflix.com GT-X - My congratulations to you. Hopefully you can forgive our friends.
