237 Pancake Breakfast

[Stephen.Yanczura]

Team 237's pancake breakfast turned out awesome and seeing as how they didnt have much of a robot there for us to spy on we focused our energy on other forms of sabotage (ie. Elgins car ) Great job guys food was good and so was the company. Hope you made lots of profit.

Just wait until we upload the video to our website I took as Elgin drove his car out of that snowbank...............with the snowman STILL on the roof!

I also have additional video and pics of the pancake breakfast that has to be uploaded.

Nice job guys. Elgin - what's up with those crazy vinyls? Especially on a purple car? A neon none the less. I hope you don't think it is fast like this one kid in my automotive classes who drives one (completely stock).

Apparently you've never been for a ride in Elgin’s car......let me tell you it is far from stock. The new SRT-4 has NOTHING on this guy.

To start with the motor has a completely aftermarket balanced rotating assembly with Keith Black flat top pistons, Eagle H-beam connecting rods and a Mopar high energy crankshaft. On the top end he has a custom head, intake and exhaust port matched with roller rockers and lifters and a set Indy stainless steel valves. Moving on the induction side of things we have a TB and head port matched intake manifold mated to a Hahn Racecraft 16G turbocharger making around 10psi of boost. This monster breaths through a custom fabricated cold air intake, capped off with a Green Filter conical air filter (no cheesy APC crap here). On the exhaust side we have a Borla tubular header paired up with a genuine Mopar exhaust system, including high flow Cat (keep it street legal ) . Upon further inspection of the interior, aside from the 200 shot ZEX nitrous system in the back, and nitrous controller (programmed by Tom Bottiglieri [195]), we can see some attempted weight reduction of the interior by apparent "gutting" of the dashboard and related components.

Ladies and gentlemen the numbers speak for themselves... the car will run 0-60 in 4.4 seconds (race fuel, race program), and do the 1/4 in the low 12s @ ~125mph. This car rips and the best part is, it's a complete sleeper. Pull up next to this at a red light, laugh at the drivers face and then prepare to get a whooping.

For some reason I can't believe this...maybe cause it isn't true? But for the amount of money put into that he could be running the 1/4 mile in under 11 sec. if he did a few things differently.

I won't believe this until I actually see it in person.

And to think, you could have seen it at Ramp Riot where my car was parked a mere 10 cars away from you down the line..

And.. yes, never does a team event goes by where something is not done to, and/or on my car.

But the same people who pick on my purpleiscious as I call it, ask me for rides to mini comps... Imagine that.. Maybe I should say no?


And to concur with Jay's post.. The video (yet to be uploaded onto the internet) is pretty cool.. I backed right through that pile of snow and plowed it down.

Looks like fun....Looking at those pictures make me wish I lived in a snowy place. I haven't seen snow in 6 years. =(

Elgin, do you have dyno sheets for that car? or maybe time slips?
snipr22 just make the list look pretty, but when it comes to reality, they are THAT huge mod's, except for the turbo, since it originally was a N/A car.
Are you using a automatic, or is it a manual? Also, you're not using the stock ECU, are you? And are those all the mod's you did, or are there more?

Like tkwetzel, I'm kind of uneasy seeing this car pull of a low 12's 1/4 mile, but then again with race gas and more boost, maybe...

Anyways, I like how you guys shoved a cone on his rear view mirrors. Kinda wish I was there to see, but I live on the west coast.
