9 Second C7 Pass

the sound this car makes is nothing short of hair raising

Well that escalated quickly.

that torque converter appears to be a bit on the loose side.

rumor has it this was on the bottle?

No wrinkle walls though - impressive traction

These cars are beginning to appeal to me.

I was kinda hoping it was a misprint and it was a Mazda CX-7...

That was truly awe inspiring. Sounded like it revved like a Japanese sport bike!

What would a car like that run on a normal street for a quarter mile, instead of that drag strip?

Most likely into another car, or a wall, or a tree...

That 7-speed seems to be holding up well...

Looking at the website, yup, on a wet N2O setup.

That's a WHOLE lotta juice to be throwing at that motor.

I like the change in sound from idle to high rpm screaming.

Automatic, but it sounds like quick manual shifting?

Wow, just wow

It's some of the fastest and flattest shifting i've heard this side of a powerglide, they just do not lift. And it revs SO fast.

Has to be a custom torque converter allowing tons of slip.

Thread here to clear up a lot of speculation:

it's an automatic with a loose converter they speced out when the car was all motor. They are working on another conveter now that will work better with the nitrous.

they are hitting it with a 150 shot

it has headers, but still has the stock GM mufflers. they sound good!

i wish my 4L60E shifted that fast. and that my car was one of those.

That sounds insane. Not sure if it's a good or bad kind of insane… Can't deny the accomplishment though!

for a car that did not look all that different from stock... I am way impressed. Loved the spine tingly sound

My phone made it sound like 20 weedeaters running wide open in an in closed area.

some of the comments beneath that video made me lose IQ points
