New Jersey- Panamerican Drag Racing Event

Eddie Bello - 2.0 60 ft- Tremendous tire shake, 10.01 ET- 161MPH in the 1/4 Mile.

World record for a Porsche in the 1/4 mile is 9.16 @ 161MPH- Looks like the record will be broken very soon !

[juicersr]

Is he running drag slicks or a wider tire?

D.O.T. Drag Radials

that honda is quick!

[juan ruiz]

That was at the last event, the car didn't have 4th gear, the "HONDA" has a SUPRA motor

[930gt-40r]

Damn Eddies car is fast- it dont even get out of the hole that fast and still manages a 10.0 or a 10.1- amazing.

[juan ruiz]

The 161 mph is what's amazing !

[bkreigsr]

was that on the 1,320 ft strip, or the 1,000 ft?
if it was englishtown, it's the 1,000 ft, and he still has a way to go to be close to the record.

161 is F*&kin movin- isnt that good for an 8 sec pass? I want to see what would happen if Eddie ever got ahold of an automatic trans that could hold his power and offer a trans brake- he would consistantly get in low 9 or high 8 passes. Also dont forget that the fastest manual trans Supra is running in the 9's... I think Ryan Woon?

That was at ATCO, In Florida he did 152 MPH and 151MPH back to back so the 161MPH is as good as it gets, this 161 MPH is as good as the 9.16@161MPH from the record, according to Bello and I quote;

" Juan, the old car never pulled as hard as this car 3 and 4th gear are unreal, I think we can break the record'

Now the guy drove the car from Florida to New Jersey, made a 161 MPH pass and now is driving back down to Florida, Impressive if you ask me.

We talk about the automatic transmission as I had that idea too, but further research showed that the clutches are not will not hold unless you have even deeper pockets.

After all of this years he is not longer with Clutch Master, now he is with Specs Clutches, the irony to see him running the same clutch I have.

Isn't the record already Bello's?

When are you hitting the track with your new set-up Juan?!!

[juan ruiz]

Yes Bello Owns the record,

I'm waiting for someone to donate a set of 964 rear shocks we tested the car this weekend at an isolated road and the car has never been this fast so the hopes are high again

[spence88mph]

Ahhh, I'm sure I'm asking a stupid question but why is he almost a second off his previous record? Is it traction, he seems to be going sideways through the first 3 gears!?

I thought I saw your car already has coil overs why do you need 964 rear shocks?

[juan ruiz]

The car is much heavier, at the moment lots of wheel hop once he fixes that it should be good to go.

I thought I saw your car already has coil overs why do you need 964 rear shocks?

That's what Doctor Bellos wants

[herman maire]

Impressive as always but I am pretty sure the other cars are not even manual transmission's..... probably some frikking powerglide dedicated drag transmission, you can see that the other cars dont even let off the gas when shifting.

Bellows car need a sequential gear box for some faster shifts..... what about a modified auto trans????

[juan ruiz]

It all comes down to a single issue $

Thats what I mean... I cant say for sure what transmission is in that honda but you can imagine how fast bellow's car would be if he did not have to let up off the gas to shift .
I love how his porsche is still a street car.

So why do you keep on saying that porsche are slow

[juan ruiz]

The S2000 has a Liberty Transmission I believe is a crime shame the front engine car is gone, that thing was going to run in the 6s ! twin turbo alcohol

General speaking Porsche's are slow, it take a lot of $ and a lot of modifications to make them fast, NOW when they are fast they are fast !

Couldn't have said it better myself. I always laughed when I was at Porsche and I hear a salesman pitching a Boxter to a prospective customer and heard the fraise "You can really feel the power with the new model..." hahaha
