Demon 170 1/4 times

[vortecd]

They are suppose to launch better but still a 1000 hp car that needs track prep. If da is there in Texas, there will be at least 9.1 runs but I think better

Im curious how the new rear diff holds up.

 

[Speedy!]

Diff looks beefy and specs read well.

Geeez things freaking fast guys going low 9's right out of the box is dope!

But the reality is most ppl have zero access to E85 so most will run it will it on 93 octane making 870-900 whp which is pretty stout but without the TQ the E85 gives u plus the HP most will be high 9's on 93 octane which again is incredible! But thats what my Modded Redeye did...... And it didnt cost $200k lol

You can order a barrel of the stuff.

If you can afford 200k you should be able to buy drums

That is what I am curious about.

The Legion guys before stated they turn the track to glue. But I remember the drama surrounding guys and their exploding diffs when they hooked.

 

[Boris]

Is there anything in the manual about running regular gas in it from time to time?

I doubt they recommend leaving E85 in it all times

I see Ripa has Forgestars and Hoosiers on his 170 now,
Claiming 32lbs lighter per front corner

Are Hoosier radials better than the M/Ts? IMO they never used to be but that was years ago.

The DOT designation becomes important for a lot of race classes this car would be suited for. I don't think the Hoosier is DOT rated.

Reminder, my cheap ass Race Star Dark Star with M&H skinny only weigh 38lbs per tire/wheel and it's DOT rated as well. I've challenged folks to find me a setup that's lighter and DOT approved and in 4 years none yet.

Drums on a pallet. Will cover all the miles a sane person would put on one of these things.

I have. The forgestar F14 with same tire are 3 lbs lighter
Those billet wheels are even lighter for a price

 

[Speedy!]

Got a link to yours? Forgestar doesn't show a 18x5 on their site.

I've not seen anything light enough to justify the price.

I like the looks better also. I had racestars for a couple of months for the Daytona then Z put his forgestar fronts with tires for sale and I bought them and still have them

 

[Speedy!]

Those look good. I wish they published weight.

 

[ACMAVRO]

Those look good. I wish they published weight.

Mine weighed 18.8. The pic won’t upload idk why 🤷‍♂️

surprising most wheels don't list weight

I believe the Hoosier DBR to be the superior tire in all applications. I have a set of M/T ET Street Pros in 275 trim for the race car, if they don't hook they will get yanked and I will go back to DBRs.
