Both contenders broke their transmissions (not sure in what way) and don't think any times were recorded. So it looks like they have both found the limits of the auto T's drive line :( However, good to see both cars in the flesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

APS did 11.34@125mph before trashing the trans, they also recorded a terminal speed as high as 127mph as well. Nizpro only managed to do one pass with a time in the 12's @105mph.

Nizpro ran very early (before most got there which defeat the purpose a little )APS ran a number of strong passes in the low 11s with good speed and finally said goodbye to the tranny in a encore pass :( I like to see Nizpro and APS side by side ... first over the line :lol: anyways ... with over 400rwkw the tranny was still working (sort off )well done guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know these cars are putting out way above their stock torque but some manuals are also and I haven't heard of any of them breaking yet. I seem to remember Steve's (Redcliffe Dyno) is a manual and he is also on record as saying in his opinion the manual will stand a lot more torque than everyone else has been saying.GO THE MANUALS :lol: :lol:Low 11s are good though eh? even for an auto :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No disrespect to Steve, I don't know him, but has he been running 11's week after week in a manual? Maybe, but not that I've heard? When he has, then his opinion becomes fact, but not before.
