I believe that car has been parted out and sold for quite some time now.

Nice numbers, can't wait to see what it'll run. Is that a Road Race Engineering (RRE) manifold? Did he have any ignition breakup, or is he using a coil on plug setup?

I don't believe it is an RRE manifold. The car has a Spoolin up C.O.P. on it with zero ignition issues.

At this cars current weight, approx: 3,400LBS with Miguel in the driver seat, I would expect somewhere between high 130's to low 140's. Based on my experience, with slicks, it would take a minimum of 138mph with a solid 1.4 60ft to break the 9 second barrier. I have seen quite a few 650-800whp Evo's trapping between 140-150mph over the years struggle to break into the 9's. It takes a very skilled driver to make it happen regardless of how good the powerband is.

Well yes trap speed reflects power and weight. But IMO and in my experience with evos when the are over the 650 range they have all been running mid to high nines with 1.4 to 1.5 60'. But those car all had drivrs with alot of seat time.I also know that you will never see Miguel at the track..so guess we won't find out unless u drive it there without him knowing. Lol

These are just a couple of examples of high horsepower 9 second capable cars that haven't broken into the 9's even though the power is there. Horsepower is only half the battle to attaining low ET's at the track.

Getting Miguel to the track will be a bit of a challenge since he is mainly a street guy. Perhaps he will surprise us all and get it to the track early next year with the new clutch. I'd certainly like to see it.
