I'm hoping to get my 6,200 lb brick into the 12s. My 1/8 mile times are a hair faster than your runs, so I'm hoping I can do it!

Thanks! From one heavyweight to another!

And yeah, mod list is fairly short considering at 100% stock I was at 14.2@98 MPH. My performance mod list:

Custom Tune
Alky Controls methanol kit - I'm running 100% methanol
Axle back exhaust
Lighter weight 20" wheels

Wait it's faster than a v6 camaro stock for stock?

Yeah... pretty much.... The EcoBoost pumps out an incredible about of torque! Stock dyno numbers are around 285 WHP and 305 WTQ! That to the ground on a AWD vehicle!

My dyno sheet is below:

blue - stock tune -axle back
red - Stage 4+ tune - axle back
green - Stage 4+ tuned for 100% methanol - axle back.

LOL! yeah... there was a tow truck driver there picking up a car (you can see the flat bed as i go by)... apparently the tow truck driver looked up and seen me lining up against the Black SS Vert (in the video) and said, "Is that guy serious?" That run was a 13.0... after hearing the 13.0 the tow truck driver commented "that is a sleeper of major proportions!" LOL

This is epic! So many cars on the road won't know what they're messing with!

GEEo · 04-02-2012, 10:10 AM

Now that's impressive!! Congrats bro!!

scrming · 04-02-2012, 10:13 AM

Thanks, guys!!! I really appreciate it!!

I don't know, hightower... perhaps my license plate is a give away.... LOL

Automatic or manual? I didn't think what you did was possible.

Automatic and AWD... ok, it's really FWD with RWD assist... LOL

And when I bought the Flex for the wife (it's her DD), I never imagined this thing would get into 12s! Especially when I think about how relatively few mods it took! And the fact that the dang thing weighs 5100 pounds with me in it!

My tbird is over 5000lbs. She is my boat, not a brick.
Always feel like I'm setting sail on the road rather than driving.

Hope I can get her into the 12's one day like your brick!
