One of the heroes of the famous TV show Street Outlaws Big Chief (Big Chief) at the event Outlaw Street Car Reunion III, held in Memphis, made the fastest race of his career, breaking the 1/8 mile behind the wheel of his Crow Mod with the result of 4.033 @ 186.38 mph. These figures are impressive in any case, in the context of competition, where the maximum permissible width of the tires with grooves equal to 315 millimeters. No slick, vosmilitrovyh configurations architecture Small-block or variations on the basis of modern motors LS-series concern General Motors. The engine is based on the Pontiac big-block with Edelbrock heads and two turbines that produce as much excess pressure, as this engine is ready to «swallow» in principle. The fastest dregster body in the world with the power plant Pontiac? In America, yes — but on the condition that the doors of the car must be properly functioning, and student record distance of 201 meter is limited.
Rodney Butler in 2010 catapulted its twin-turbo Pontiac Tempest by the end of Quarter of 6.27 seconds with a speed at the finish line more than 228 mph.
If you remove the requirement for the presence of the door, then Steve Dale in 2013, has developed exactly the same speed, but in 6.11 seconds. It is difficult to compare the results demonstrated in the 402 meters with a performance at half the lower segment of sized asphalt, because the cars setup in these two cases have fundamental differences, and most emergency situations happen usually in the second half of the Quarter. However, the time within the lower border zone chetyrehsekundnoy 1/8 gives every reason to believe that shod slicks Crow Mod under favorable weather conditions and adequate technical training though not easy, but it can still become the first five-second Pontiac bodywork on kvotere.
