Just seen the vid of the 8.4@181mph run!

That puts quite a few jap cars over here to shame!

So at a rough figure what power we talking about here from the 4-pot? I did see another vid of him doing a 180mph trap and at the end he mentioned he was scared to see the log as he reconed he topped 70psi!!!!

It has got to be 1300whp plus, im on holiday at the moment so bit gutted I did not see the video earlier of miller breaking cert. 181 feck me

[Rob@Backyardracing]

Chris Miller has just ran 8.37@178mph world cup finals... awsome...

[rs250nut]

There is no stopping this man, 7's anyone? Whats the break down of the pass? I bet with another 1.4 sixty. Damn some cars with wheelie bars dont touch in to those sort of sixty foots. And to think he was on about selling the camo car, crazy.

[Dave Reed]

That is a bloody awesome time!! Time for a honda build me thinks

[Rob@Backyardracing]

Unsure of run down, sure it will be up on HT, aya i bet the value is up now on the camo... shame hes selling it, just go to some rich kid with no Brain so unlikely we will see any progess...

[Dave Reed]

[Rob@Backyardracing]

wow, another update, bit of a shocker, tony (T1 RACE) just ran 8.57@183!!

thats gonna get miller worried im sure, crazy mph

[rs250nut]

I saw this on ht, I would love to have a tuning shop like most of these front runners in the outlaw class. Seeing what they sell some of the parts for no wonder they have 8 second hondas.
