That thing has some very impressive times without the NOS or any other power adders. WOW...I bet he has no problem with hitting 10's in the quarter mile with that thing. All he has to do is get all the bolt ons then hit the NOS and I bet he'd be under 10 seconds. Killer sleeper. boink

With nitrous i bet that car still runs high 11's, they went somewhere near a 12.8 stock. 10's are NOT gonna happen

Well did you see the weight of that thing? Any little thing will help it out. Come on just that weight reduction dropped near 2.5 seconds and on our cars a shot of NOS will be good for a full second so how much do you think on that thing? Sure not 1 second, I say more then again with all the bolt ons. CAI, K&N air filter, bigger MAF, P&P intake mainfold & heads, stage II cams, UDP's, LPM, and ect. boink Think again, then with NOS eek!

Oh yea and rear wheel drive boink also with slicks oh_my and the LSD already in it eek!

I completely agree with X-15 SHO... This car belted out an extremely impressive 12+sec 1/4 mile (STOCK) eek! I really believe that with all the mod's that X-15 mentioned, a computer chip, and a slight breeze behind it... There's no reason it couldn't hit 10's or lower. The thing weighs almost nothing compared to our SHO's, and some SHO owners have knocked 2 seconds or more off their own cars. The potential for his SHOGUN is astronomical!!

(QUOTED FROM A MAGAZINE)
Performance of the Shogun was simply awesome. The Shogun was relatively light at 2572 pounds (without driver) and each of the 220hp had to move only 11.7 pounds. The rear weight bias (61 percent of the vehicle weight was on the rear tires at rest) and wide, sticky rear tires contributed to excellent acceleration from a stop. 0-60 and quarter mile figures to the tune of 4.9 seconds and 13.3 seconds at 98.6 mph respectively were achieved by an experienced test driver for a magazine review). Chuck Beck also demonstrated for the magazine that by drag race style lauch and power shifting, these figures could be dropped to 4.6 seconds and 12.9 at 100.9 mph.

*It's funny to think about, but heaven forbid you bolt a Turbocharger on this thing!! boink

I have an old Exotic Cars Quarterly that has a review of the SHOGun from when it first came out. Pretty sweet stuff; other cars in that same mag were a Gemballa Mirage, Mariah Mode Six, and the infamous Callaway "Sledgehammer" Corvette convertible. Rock on.
