Just got back from the Dyno comp at the Nats, and saw a twin turbo Late model camira with a HPF sticker on the front windscreen, pull 1260rwhp on its first pass in the final.

Second pass, the thing ran really lean (Even hitting 14.7:1 AFR) then at 1210rwhp, blew an O ring somewhere in the valley and with somewhere between 6 and 8 fuel pumps in the car burst into flames!

Just awesome!

He was the highest overall, and won. The forced induction 6 cylinder category was won by a Skyline GTR running 670rwhp on pump fuel. Second was a turbo V6 Rodeo ute (Yes, You read it right!) with 640rwhp!

About time we saw some 400+rwkw Fords there guys, a little dissapointing. Only saw 2 6T's there the whole weekend, and none on the dyno.

Not good to hear about the fire in that commodore... the poor owner must be shattered. Was it 'TRYHRD'? Was that car there? I know it's a Late model camira but what ever happened to it?

And that Rodeo must be an absolute ball tearer... :nono:

Why bother when you can spend 60k and have a bombed out 11 sec XR6T and a house with a view and a French maid that does massages and EXTRAS....

500k better spent my way I reckon.. :thumbsup:

BLOODY COMMODORES :tease:
