I have never tried roll racing at the track but decided to see what this this old girl can do. Car is a 2004 LPE TT650, actually a 21st Century Muscle Car that installed the LPE kit. I have rebuilt the original turbos, had RPM do the entire drivetrain, installed a Monster triple disk clutch, new exhaust system, MSD intake and E85 conversion etc... You can see the before and after dyno results but the long block and turbo kit are still all original LPE circa 2004. I am guessing I should be able go 140mph in the 1/4 from a 40 roll. Does anybody have any experience with this kind racing or have any results to share?
Really pretty car with what looks like some good parts. I think you're pretty close on the 140 guess. May go a little faster. Believe it or not, your roll racing mph in the 1/4 ends up being about the same as your mph racing from a stop also. Not quite sure how that is, but it happens all the time at Street Car Takeover events. I've been 141 in the 1/4 but haven't been able to make a good roll racing pass and I'm in the same neighborhood as you power wise

Thank you for the comments INSTIG8TR. Car was a 140 bracket car... The draggy had 30-130 at 6.5 so I was very happy with the results for what the car is. I did a couple dig hits and it only went 10.3 at 138 but I had some ugly tire shake with the R888r's. The clutch and trans make it so easy to bang gears but I am honestly thinking about going with sequential trans this winter. Probably do a few engine upgrades and see what I can do for turbo's on this kit. Those damn vipers and bulls are just flat out sick.
i know this doesnt answer your question my corvette brother. but i had to say beautiful car and great numbers....just pretty pretty pretty...mmmm..mmm.mmmmmmmm
