Well, OK then. I saw a large white pickup truck and, late in the video realized that the actual subjects were little specks to the right behind a safety barrier. Then they both made a lot of noise and the one speck was quicker than the other spec. At the end there were some spotted owls hooting. Anyone ever hear of zoom lenses? Great videography!

Why post a video without listing mods of each car?

what difference does it make the mods? if your car isn't race ready then u probably shouldn't be racing. if u get smoked then u better mod up for the next time if u plan to continue racing. if u cant run with the big dogs stay on the porch

It was test and tune I didn't ask the guy in the challenger what he had done. All I know is I seen him putting front runners on and slicks so I figured he meant buisness. It was a R/t challenger. 375 hp. Guy ran in the high 12s. That's usually a high 13 car. So he had something I guess

Ok guys. My mods . Car is a 2010 grandsport a6. lg long tubes into hi flow cats going thru the stock npp. Halltech intake. Lingenfelter gt-11 cam ..2800 yank stall and of course a tune. Ran consistent 11.54 s 11.56s that's 6 passes. All between 120-121 mph. 1.73 - 1.75 60fts . It's a NHRA track so anything under 11.50s you need a cage. Was trying for at least a 11.4 but settled for this. In the end I'm happy I have a totally streetable car that runs and drives great
