Default Nelson Bernard's 9sec 3000gt

Nelson Bernard finally took one of his insanely modified 3000GT's to the track and ran 9.62 # 152 MPH.

The wild part was that he was running BFG KDWRs.

Sorry the video qaulity is a little rough, I'll poster better footage if it comes available

I actually like this pass better, his ET sucks but you can see the traction problems he was having

That intake is insane... whats with the covered FMIC? Love the chrome, though. Overall a beautiful car... I see he changed out his exhaust to be single, interesting... This was all on STREET tires??

power to weight ratio on top of difficulty and cost to mod the car all into play

LMAO^ cost to mod the car? Nelson bernarde has more money then he knows what to do with...he is building two other full drag 3/s's...this is just his street car and if nobody noticed it wasnt even on radials...on slicks he will run low 9's easy...the car doesnt even have a cage or a chuite though.
