Boxpin hits the Drag Strip - Runs a 13.7 with the tires blazing.
What a fun night. I broke out the first run so the night was over but I ran a 13.7 with the tires spinning. If I can get traction I am sure it will be in the low 13's.

Here is a run against a 69 Camero. Looks like I am going to lose...not. Volvo magic kicks in.

Did you spin a little on each run? I was hoping to see you get 12.5 with the mods you have. I think I can get 14.5 with my stock T-5R. I forgot to flip my ecu switch when I was at the track and was running like 15.3's.
Some guy keeps trying to get me to let him purchase my T-5R, claims he can make it a 10 second car. I keep telling him that I don't think it's possible but he thinks it is. I can see him now, braking akles, etc. I'd be happy with 12.5 but I also want to do it in a wagon. Better sleeper. I was trying to purchase the green T-5R but I wouldn't give the guy $800 for it. I kept telling him he needed to let me have it for $500, which was probably a little to much. The VIN was the only thing I wanted. I was planning to rebuild the thing from the ground, with 350,000 miles on it, I'm sure it would likely take it. The closet track we have it only 1/8 mile. I don't know if it's possible to hit a country road and figure out what a 1/4 mile is and test it myself. What is a stock T-5R sedan suppose to do the 1/4 mile in? This link claims 14.0 with very little mods: http://www.dragtimes.com/Volvo-850-T...lip-18691.html not sure if it's true. Wiki claims 14.8: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volvo_850

I would say 14.8-15.0! How heavy are the Volvo Sedans anyway?
I would also think Boxpin MPH would be higher with his Mod's and I was thinking low-mid 13's as well! 12.5 is moving out pretty good. His video's I have seen sure does look and sound like it would do 12.5's...it sounds bad ***!!

When I go I should be running a 15 inch version of those. But if it is anything like the Hoosier road racings tires I have I will spin them like street tires.
The ones I have for road racing are really sticky driving around the track but the torque I have is no match for them. My boss kept telling me before running them I would never break them loose on the track. Well to his surprise on my first lap after getting them hot I will spinning them through second on every corner.
But once I go I am going to post the times.
