mop_zero,
Is it the water on the windshield, or did that run crack your windshield??? I viewed the video twice to be sure that you did not have a crack when you started the run, but about half way through, I can see what appears to be a horizontal crack appearing across the lower part of the windshield.
That would indicated to me you have a lot of flexing in the body?

Looks that way to me also.. About 23 seconds in the crack appears..
If you look closely, you can see it at 12 seconds.
I think the crack was already there.
Mop, what does that Probe do in the 1/4 mile?

I also see the "crack" around 14 seconds in. Cool video.
I'm more of a fan of handling than just raw speed, but I'm also curious about the quarter mile time. How badly does it beat the ST? :grin:

That crack has been there for nine years (since I bought the car).
The car is a 93 and is running a clutched Eaton M62 from a Mercedes Benz. It is running 6psi of boost and that high pitched whine can be turned on and off with a switch in the cabin.
I have no dyno numbers or 1/4 mile times. Although the car beats the ST with the supercharger off.
[Broken External Image]: I was not running the cake mod at the autocross.

mop_zero,
It was probably the direction of the light that did not show the crack at the begining of the video....but it became very obvious the longer the video ran. There were some water drops on the windshield and I was not sure if the water had just trailed off to the side, but later it did appear to be a crack. Thanks for clearing that up.
Also, thanks for clearing up the Cake mod....I was going to ask if you had dyno's the car with the Cake mod and if so, how much HP increase did you get...:grin: I was going to ask for the receipe..... To tell you the truth, I though it was a piece of pie:bwahaha:

Very intresting SC application....:supercool:
This is like being married and never making love to your wife. Sure you fool around, but you never get down to business.
Get that thing to the track!!!
