Streetfighter Australias Fastest Coyote

[KPM Motorsport]

With a fantastic turnout of nearly 300 streetcars, last nights Streetcar meet at A.I.R was the largest turnout out in history for this track.

220 cars competed with 80 hopeful entrants having to be left out.

Our KPM Streetfighter development car had a chance to race and test locally rather than having to travel interstate as we often do.

In final stages of testing and development are our Streetfighter 2300 manifold and supercharger upgrade, our transmission upgrades and our Streetfighter camshaft development. We also had the opportunity to further showcase and publically display the ability of our Streetfighter in tank fuel pump system and twin throttle body intake set up.

With the car performing faultlessly all night we managed to squeeze 4 runs amongst the 220 cars racing. (Great to see many forum members and their cars turn out).

After 2 consecutive runs at 10.70 @ 136 mph and 10.77 @ 132mph we were asked to slow down or go home. (ANDRA rules for streetcars).

Grudgingly we played the game and continued testing at above our 11.0 second cut off time bracket.

With only one more round of testing and evaluation before we go to the next level of development, from our understanding we can now claim the title of Australia’s fastest coyote. 10.70 @ 136 mph

Heatcote AFF Nationals will be our last testing at this level before the release of our 2300 Supercharger package for public sale. We hope to even better out time next month before we go next phase of development.

Hope to see many of you out there.

was that the full streetfighter exhaust u ran last night dave ?

sounded like dropped pipes !! , I thought u would of tested your FULL STREETFIGHTER PACKAGE inc exhaust ?

are the front runners and 28inch rear slicks apart of any streetfighter package ?

credit where its due and the car was very tuff all night long, but dont u think you may of crossed the street car /drag car line a little with what u braught out to play concidering it was "off street" racing

[ratter]

I thought most people used drag tyres to race on these days?

[JETURBO]

front runners and rags are a step up from a rear set of STREET ET's

but well done to kpm

[ms700]

The impression I got after reading KPM's post, was that if I owned a Coyote equipped FG, went out and bought a Streetfighter 2300 manifold and blower upgrade, tranny upgrade, Streetfighter cams, and also the Streetfighter (you guys forgot the fonts and italics on that one) intank fuel pump, and twin throttle body intake, I too would be able to run 10's.

Would appear that's possibly not the case.....

Maybe if KPM could explain what the test mule was running ie exhaust, tyres, any weight reduction, any other mods to clarify....

[ratter]

use the best tool for the job and there can be no excuses, that's what I believe anyway.

If the idea was to show what the car is capable of, why not present it in a way to show it, slicks are the best tyre on the strip, if the car did not perform as intended they could not blame the tyres.

What street tyres are going to handle a middish 10 sec pass in a car set up for street use rather than drag set up

as MS 700 said it can be a touch misleading if you are after a "full streetfighter package" and it would be shocking if dave left some of this info out from someone trying to get their street fighter packaged car into the 10's

transparency is always key ................................I say

[ms700]

People have no problem if the car is heavily modified, to run a 10, as long as they are informed of it.

Communication is the key here.

Id be p!ssed if I bought this package, couldnt run a 10, then discovered I had to strip the interior, race slicks, purchase a unobtainium exhaust with cats made out of moon dust, and buy a full carbon fibre body shell in order to run a 10....

Tough crowd...

Guys it was a development car and was testing so I think it does not represent a final product.

Congrats on the achievement and I guess it does take the crown of the fastest coyote.

KPM utilises all forms of Motorsport and testing opportunities to further develop our products.

Along the way, we may set some benchmarks that we use to market our company. Eg "Fastest Coyote"

We have no interest in unending debates regarding Streetcar, not streetcar etc. We do not race and test for this reason.

Unlike many manufacturers including major car companies when we market our packages we utilise independent sources to verify all results.

Our full Street Fighter packages have been tested over the last 2 years and proven by Motor Magazine at Hot Turner 2011 and Hot Turner 2012.

Independent divers and motoring writers carried this testing out over 2 days. We offered cars for testing, both with our Stage 3 500w packages. One was a VE Late model camira and the other, a GTE Coyote.

The reason I mention this is that we will only offer independent testing to give results of our advertised packages. Not drag racing results.

This was done in our last phase and we achieved the fastest 2 Australian cars ever tested by motor. Independently tested and completely transparent. Motor October, 2012 edition.

The difference this week is that we are now testing products not offering set packages.

We prepared our daily streetcar with dropped exhaust from the cats. Eg ran headers and cats only. Other than some weight advantage. It is not a power advantage.

We do this for marketing and crowd reaction.

Removed our road wheels with slicks.

We prefer the ET Street Radicals (10.8 last meeting) however, we are looking for a transmission reliability solution for our customers wanting to race therefore testing taller tyres.

Power v weight gets you down the track quicker. Why wouldn't we rip the interior out?

Can't be more transparent than going through scruteneering in the same format we raced.

Same as all the others competing yesterday, today it's a registered Streetcar again.

Once our 2300-supercharger kit and cams are finalised any prospective Street Fighter customer can utilise these products to run same similar or better times.

Just change tyres and strip some weight for the night.

Simply put we are testing products to offer not packages . We are in no way advertising this as 10-second street car package ready to roll as I think you are suggesting.
