Of course, the better view is from the actual producers of PINKS. Won't be long before it hits the tube, since it was only 1st aired last night.

What did it have in it? Looks quick, but I'd drive that Nova before I'd drive a busted looking Mirage.

Much rather own the Nova even if it is slower
I'm not saying 8 cylinder > 4 cyliner or 4 cylinder > 8 cylinder, just that the Mirage is hideous
2005 Ford F-150 FX4 Supercrew
UP FOR VIDS:
It has AWD conversion from a DSM ---- that's all I know so far. And of course boost.
"I'm not a gynecologist... but I'll take a look."
"Tom basically has it right. It has been converted to AWD using a GSX's drivetrain and I put a fully built 4g63-t in it. Turbo is from Forced Performance (model FP3052). The turbo can support over 500 wheel horsepower, but I had only tuned the car up to 18psi by the weekend of the show (probly about 300hp). I literally got the car "finished" the night before PINKS!"

makes sense then why he didnt burn out lol

THE ONE THAT TOOK HIM OUT:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNm3Ls1_uAY
On the PINKS footage they paid omage to him by showin Kevin's in-car camera as he girinded into 2nd and lost ground.
They went back to that view at the trap to see how hard he was pulling on the Ford at the top end. Even grinding 2nd, had he had another 6 inches he would have drove around the Ford.
Good stuff.

BABY j = Thinks drag racing means anything when it comes to driver skill.
When you are comparing the fish that are in the same pond it does. When you compare drag racers to drag racers then driver skill DOES matter. But I bet that JUST by your post your argument is comparing drag racers to road-course guys.
And furthermore, you can't argue w/ missing a shift when it's on video.
Thank you. You lose again. NEXT.

I just dont get all excited when some guy can show skill for 12 secs. In fact, drag racing really is a bore to me unless the cars are 8 secs or better. Obviously street cars are eliminated at that point. But i feel real drag racing has to be done on a pro tree and its all about r/t over anything else. I hate seeing these turbo imports at the track that see green and spend another 3 secs spooling. That's a bunch of B.S.
I autox'd my Spec V when it was stock - and you know what, I could go into a corner slow and then "make up" for it later. I had time to push harder to compensate for an earlier mistake. W/ drag racing, you have ONE SHOT to be right. U blow the launch - in most cases your're done. Questionable shift - DONE. You have to plug EVERYTHING the 1st time...no "fixing it the next turn." Does autox compare to a real road race - H3LL no, but you see what I mean. Is that a knock on road-course guys? Not at all - they are good at what they do. But to say that there is no skill required in drag is an understatement.
Like you - I think that the pro-tree is King though - I agree.

saul goode homey!
"I'm not a gynecologist... but I'll take a look."
i loved that paint job
Has the actual PINKS footage made it to the tube yet?
"I'm not a gynecologist... but I'll take a look."
did it win?? if not then whats this all about?
No - but it represented VERY well in a 12.0 class --- arguably only losing b/c of a gear grind. There were over 60 cars in that class and he made it to the big show (quick 16) and then to the top 4 in a class dominated by cars pulling 1.5 adn 1.6 60 fts. Whether you like imports or domestics, I'd say that was a job well done for a college student who couldn't afford paint.
"I'm not a gynecologist... but I'll take a look."
now that is a VID!
or a evo lol
