TR6 Couple of rare TR6 options

[TRED]

The chute and the wheelie bars. Made 4 license runs this weekend, lifting at the 1000ft mark and coasting went 9.8 at 127 with only about 13 psi of boost. Had the car on the track scale and it weighed about 2640lbs.without the driver.

That's not a TR6: it's a rocket ship! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/driving.gif /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/devilgrin.gif

your Tr6 can turn a 9.8 quarter?

OK, what's powering this car. With that weight (adding 160 lbs. for the driver) and ET, you need well over 500HP, probably pushing 600HP!

See his post last winter,I believe, and you will see.

The power comes from a 455 Poniac with a T88 turbo. I had the car on a dyno at Car Craft Summer nationals and it put 622 to the wheels.
I don't post here a lot but I am a bit excited so I made the post, not to many TR6's with wheelie bars and a chute.
The car has been fighting me a bit but hope to run a low 9 or a high 8 second pass soon.

TRED, we would love to see some video of that!

If this works it just a 1/8 mile pass working on my license passes.
