That's pretty cool! What kind of power does a naturally aspirated 13b on nitro make?

does it have to actually be paint or does a full wrap job count?

i love the Grey Titan Scion Camo Job...

That's what I'm trying to figure out!

Rotary + nitromethane + open header = extreme hearing problems!

[edit] Found some more pics: The interior is PIMP!

Power wise I think its around 550hp
This car has ran low 8 high
They will be shooting for the 7's in a couple of weeks.
The record for the fastest n/a nitro burning car is 7.70 but it was on a 20b.

Is the interior with the nitrous bottles the same car? If so, that's not naturally aspirated. Still sick though, they are probably spraying a huge shot on it. I wonder what the possibilities with nitrometh and nitrous are.

Might have been converted after the pictures were taken?

Its the same car. I was just trying to translate they way they call that class in Puerto Rico. They call it the Aspirated class. No turbos or supercharger just nitros.

haha, I knew it. As soon I saw a pic of the bottle, it confirmed it.
A rotary wouldn't make a very good nitro motor. I'm sure somebody's tried already though. Man would that make a racket!

Tough to beat any of the last 3 Titan Cars, but I'm partial. I think the Killer Paint Flame car the 1st go around was my favorite, with the black camo following a close second.

Outside of those I think the DVS car has probably had the other 2 designs which where the most professional looking and well layed out, down to the wheel selection and co-op sponsorship layouts.

I believe you are correct. When we were in Indy for NHRAsc, he had this guy with him airbrushing the toter , and I want to say that he also did all of the airbrushing on the car.

Either way, Rados car looks sick

Yup, I loved the paint scheme of the Mazda back in the day. Nothing like a good air brush and black cars. We stepped away from those type of schemes because we got so much flack for drowning out the sponsors with the busy scheme. Nevertheless, we would like to come out with some kick butt air brush scheme that won't drown out the sponsors.

I cant wait till someone comes up with a style sponsor friendly. The old Mazda was gorgeous as well, I had forgot about that one.

I like it. I think I am going to do my car a candy purple and add some black graphics as well.
