Went out to WSID today to watch Maatouk take the new VL GOD out for it's first test runs...
The car's first full pass it turned the tyres around the 60' mark (despite the big burnout) and nearly did a bunny hop when he jumped off it and back on again...got it straight again and short-shifted to an 8.2@170mph.
Amazing stuff, can't wait to see what this car can do with some more track time.

Just saw the video on facebook, good work to Anth and the crew, running an 8.2 with only about 50% of its true potential. looks like the car has some minor issues.. but thats what shakedown passes are for... i can smell a record coming very soon..
