Shift S3ctor Airstrip Attack Photos

[Sales@vargasturbotech]

Despite our best efforts to get our shop car running properly in time for the event we decided not to run the car at all this past weekend. The #2 cylinder is leaking down over 25% and we will be putting another stock motor in shortly to continue development so we just cruised down to Coalinga to spectate.

Here are some photos from the event.

Hope you all have a great week! It will be a very busy and exciting one for us as we continue to assemble / ship the Stage 2+ N54 turbos and are awaiting testing of the world's first S55 turbo upgrade .

Nice shots....lots of nice cars there. Wish we had Cali weather in NJ ugh. Any numbers on how all the cars did?

Sticky,

Any update on how your car ran at SS this last weekend?

Sticky,

Timing was not on my side as usual.

I did not want the car there but Gintani asked me if they finished the clutch break in if they could run it. They work hard on the car and want to show what they are capable of so I wished them luck.

Vargas said he saw the car driving around the pits and that is correct. They were trying to bed the clutches and get the computers to cooperate with the new clutch baskets. After some time on the back roads they finally got everything straightened just after the event ended.

We'll just have to see how the car runs on high boost at a different event and I honestly prefer it that way.

I heard it ran Kenton. Good to hear it was out there running after all this time!

I don't know who you heard that from as it's incorrect and as I stated it didn't run at the event.

[cd330]

Maybe you should check with Gintani, because you are getting wrong info...... Your car trapped 152.... Kenton's did 182+ ..... I would post the video of your car running his but the stupid rep points on this forum wouldn't let me.

I should check my info? I'm pretty sure I just got off the phone with Alex.

If you think my car is trapping 20+ mph slower than what it previously trapped when it won the event you have a mental problem. It wasn't running correctly until they got everything sorted and by that time the event was over.

If your whole purpose here is to stir up drama go elsewhere.

I've seen the video! Your car got smoked. Just saying

Left at the line with out a prayer of ever catching Kenton's car.

Where's the vid?

[MaverickM3]

Getting link now. One second.

Bob I don't have enough rep points. Lol. Can you rep. I guess that's how it works.

[JRCART]

You guys, sorry but no way did Sticky's car only run 152mph, must be a case of mistaken identity. As much as I would love to bust his chops I just can't beleive his car went 152 on a clean pass. He went faster than that in the spring.

[bobS]

Seems way to slow considering terry's car ran 160+ Maybe it was a attempt to get the clutches to bed? Or they had a issue and let off

You guys run the CLK? Heard the C BS ran 173 crazy strong for stock motor and trans

LOL yeah it's easy to get smoked when your transmission isn't working.

I'm pretty sure just about anything can smoke a car that isn't shifting. Just saying.

I can't even believe there is logic coming from this account.

Bingo.

So the car can do 173 and win the event when this car that supposedly smoked me was in attendance when on only 18.5 psi of boost + MS109 on the slipping OEM gearbox but with 24 psi on C16, upgraded suspension for better traction, and new clutches out of stronger material with a deeper clutch basket it runs 20+ mph slower?

Heh. People just want to be vindictive.

That's fine. I'm proud to report that as of this second the car is holding 24 psi without breaking a sweat. I'd love a rematch and we can see just how easily it gets smoked.

Are you going to post a dyno? 24psi..wow

I'm on the fence about it. I'd rather just race everyone who thinks it's trapping 152 in the 1/2 mile or putting out 773 to the wheels.

It's more satisfying when you beat people in person so they have to acknowledge your superiority.

Or you could just do both
