Thanks everyone; it feels good after all the time, work and money I have put in this car to finally make some decent passes - though I am sure it has plenty more in it (more boost, better launch, better weather, etc)
Now for a few of the questions...
The climate control does house my wideband. With the glovebox closed, there are no gauges showing except that one which is hidden in the climate control, so the interior looks rather simple and almost stock. Similar to that, I drilled out the stock '98 leather+woodgrain shifter and threaded it for use on my B&M Quicksilver shifter. Because the 98+'s have a gated/patterned shift console, I switched to the manual console with black leather boot. The transmission is a 3speed auto (TH400).
The red button does a few things: During the burnout, it activates the front linelock + aux limiter @7k. At the tree, it activates the transbrake, linelock and limiter. In the video you can I see I stall it up somewhat on the footbrake before I engage the transbrake - this is to load the driveline before I use the transbrake, and get all the slack out of the system (driveshaft, rear, etc). This way, there is no shock to the system when I launch.
The best 60' to date is 1.41 in Chicago for CHI2K6 a week ago, but that pass was aborted before the 1/8th mile and resulted in a 10.8 @ 95mph. Best 1/8th is around a 6.0@120, and I believe on this incar vid it was more like a 6.3@119.. going from memory as I don't have the slip in front of me.
Yes, it really keeps the RPMs up there, mainly because of the rear. I am running a 4.27 right now, and am looking for a 3.76 to switch to because I am dropping power over ~7300rpm. Also, I am out of gear, this rear can only do about 155mph or so.
Here are a few more videos from suspension testing 2 months ago... you'll see me slide around some, but still manage a 9.4
I needed incar then, would have been much more fun haha
Pass 3 (4mb)
Pass 4 gets blurry, but wait for the end (5mb)
Pass 5 (5mb)

Were your passes all boost, or did you use some spray as well?

Wow, I'm speechless...
Great work...your vehicle represents the very best of Luxury and Power all fused seamlessly together.
Just curious...
Do you ever cruise that thing on the street??? If so, it's a nightmare on wheels....
