yeah, but the MPH vs ET makes sense that it's 1/8th mile, because he lifted.. if it was 1/4 mile, than he would of ended up around a 14, unless he got back into it

A 9.51 in the 1/8 mi may be 72-75mph, it was defiantly a quarter mi run... My Marauder runs 8.3 in the 1/8 @ 85mph, the Bird ran similar times...

Kinda neat, but it sounded like shiznit...

that was 1/4. He's got another video at the same track and you can read the name, Mission Raceway Park in Vancouver. Btw, the other video is a RX-7 that went 8.20 @ 160

It's the angle. you can really tell in the other videos, and the track info only says they have a 1/4 and a AutoX/MotoX track. Also keep in mind, running a 9 will really make it look short too lol.

Gotta be 1/4 mile. Only way you could get up to 110 in 9 seconds. I have seen 9 second cars run 138mph or so in the 1/4 with traction issues. He shot to the wall, let off then probably coasted at the end.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.
