People should really not visit that site. It attempts to copy the contents of your clipboard 
. The site has been like that for sometime too. I don't know if it's been hacked or what but that isn't cool.

The site has likely been compromised in some way. I can't imagine someone with that kind of site doing that on purpose but to answer your question, to steal personal information. Maybe you copied portions of your tax return to the clipboard that contain your SSN or other personal information.
It has been this way for a while as I remember bringing it up here before.....
Here it is..... December of 2005.

Is there a way to report something like that? Who would you report it to? Just thinking out loud.

I remember a car just like that from Canada came down to E-Town and ran 8 seconds. It was an 85 or 86 converted to look like the later ones. I couldn't even close that page because of that clipboard copy thing. I had to use the task manager.

No way that is a stock IRS in that car taking that sorta power. Might be an IRS, but not in the form that we know it as.
To run that sorta MPH (~3000 lbs) it would be making about 1300hp at the REAR wheels! Absotuley no way it would hold behind a 6 speed.....the glide is most like cushioning the launch but still that is a LOT of power to send thru a D44 - to the tune of about double what I make and mine was borderline. The ujoints would never take that sorta punishment.
And if it is a stock unit/components, then I can almost assure you that it is not raced on a regular basis. Unless the guy owns DANA and has a truckload of spares in the parking lot.
One fast car though what ever is in it.

I found out about it in the drag racing section
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=1657497
sounds like they've seen it run in person.
I remember John Meaney's car put 1,200hp through the stock D44 with an auto, on drag radials not slicks. Perhaps it's a turbo thing, or they're leaving the line soft and making it up on the top end?
BTW
I removed the page with the clipboard issue.
The video page doesn't seem to do it, so I left it.

There is a yellow Viper running a 6spd T56 and a Dana 44 with 3.08 gear running about 1600 hp with twin turbos hitting high 8's. He still has a/c, custom stereo with sub box in the back. I wonder how he keeps his together? He launches hard enough to pull the wheels and just about torque off the front fender due to twist.
