It is. I change the tires, but the passenger seat in and the mufflers on and drive it on the street on a regular basis.

Thanks Mike. You and Cartek certainly set the bar high for us N/A guys back in 04. I remember when I first saw that video and thought, I wish my car ran like that. Now it does.

Eltoro - I think that you are correct!!!!

I also believe that the Canadian fellow who built that motor held the A4 record for years before lingenfelter broke it.

That's a broad subject , there are all out race All-Motor C5's (solid axles , powerglides) that have gone mid to high 8's .

No disrespect to anyone's accomplishments , but technically the quickest and fastest All-Motor IRS C5 ran a 9.4 at 140+ mph (Calvin Baltimore) , that was with a max effort full race engine with C5R heads , 442cid and Big Stuff-3 engine management .

A car from Georgia has gone 9.92 at 136 , Dan's gone 9.93 at 136.9 and my car 9.95 at 137.81 , all of these times are documented with timeslips and video . So it looks like Cartek still has the "fastest" documented All-motor MPH for a street C5 , and that was done with "old " technology ( motor built in late 2003 ) , with the evolution of LSX performance parts over the last few years , I'd like to pick up a second C5 FRC and have Cartek build me another nasty All-Motor combo , can't afford that for a while though .

All of these NA C5's are bad-azs , I've had several different combos in my car over the last 8 years , and have run 9's with three different combinations ( Nitrous , All-Motor , and Turbo ) my All-Motor combo was my favorite before Cartek talked me into going with a turbo , and I'm glad they did , the turbo is definitely the most fun , powerful , and streetable . But I'll always be a big All-Motor fan .

Any c5 with or without poweradders irs rear and 4l60e trans in the 9s is a great accomplishment.most wont do it without the cold weather high 9s in the cold weather = low 10s in hot weather

Dwayne, you are correct. I don't drive my car everyday but I do drive it every week. Yes I did have a race seat in the car. So what!

I don't race in order to argue with people about times, engine builders, weight reduction, or anything else. I race because I enjoy it. If everyone at the track runs quicker than me then good for them. I set a goal to run in the 9s with a N/A A4 C5 that I could still drive on the street. I did what I set out to do and I'm proud of that. I don't have to put others down to feel good about what I have done.
