Comments: A nine second Polish GMC Typhoon. The model originally is the mechanical sister of the GMC Syclone, but this car is quite a mid different. It was a 5.7 liter V8 for starters, with two turbos. It does have some power!
The transmission is TH-400 with transbrake. This makes possible the boost buildup before the launch.
When Marcin released the transbrake, the car jumped forward like it was hit from behind.
(The forthcoming video will be very spectacular.)
Due to the soft sidewall drag tires the car rocked back and forth during the first 50 meters, thus creating the waves in the g curve.
Still, this launch is only second to the RWD Jeep.
I think the gear changing points are at 140 and 190 km/h, although it's quite hard to tell, as you can see the acceleration is constant. I love these American automatics. :)
The run's offical result was 9.58 @ 235.29, which is matched well by this log if you set the rollout to 12".
The car won the A8 category on the day. Bravo! photo 1 _2_ _3_

14.81 @ 153	Nem semmi futam egy ilyen nehéz autótól. Bár elég vicces ha az ember a Listázás-ra kattint és a két leggyorsabb jármű(ami a kerekeivel hajtott) az terepjáró->vagyis a gyárban annak készölt

13.19 @ 167	Ja, azt értem, hogy a váltás után visszaesik, de magasabb fordulaton mintha már kevesebb lenne. No mindegy.
