    Calvo Motoospots Gen V 1/2 mile record!!!

    Day started out kind of rocky since the runway was SUPER dusty this am. But got a little better thru out the day. With quiet a few passes with traction issues we where able to reach our goal. Still very dusty. What you see coming off the back of the viper is the cloud of dust lol.

    We ran 176mph with traction issues, 178 the next pass,179 the next pass and then FINALLY 180.7 mph!!!!! Goal is to try and Best that tomorrow!!!

    This is STOCK gen V motor with VERY Hard miles on it lol our Fuel system and Our turbo kit.

    What kind of power is the car making on the boost setting you guys were on for those runs?

    I firmly believe it is due solely to the color and number on the side. I love it.

    Well done. That will be rad if you best it.

    180mph in the 1/2 mile is faaaaast. What do you think she will do in the mile?

    Congrats. I hope to see you guys start running with the big dogs in the next few years. UGR TT-Hurracan went 238 at the event.

    I believe the Viper can do it. 2500whp or something like that was needed to hit that speed.

    We really don't want to go that fast rwd in a half. They have the advantage of being awd and alot better aero than a viper. Those things roll out. Tony in the gtr went 235. Just crazy

    If they had a half mile that was fully prepped it would be possible. Not on those shitty runways. They are all dusty, awd dominates.

    None, the car is bone stock minus our turbo kit, motec, PHR fuel system and clutch.
