Mike Moran - I Did Run 5s!
Mike Moran - I Did Run 5s!
Mike Moran predicted a 5-second quarter-mile e.t. from his turbocharged door-slammer five years ago. Here's how he finally did it.Mike Moran is a man possessed. There is no other reason he would spend five years of his life chasing 0.300 of a second. This story is a follow-up to the one titled "I Will Run 5s" in the Oct. '04 issue of HOT ROD (page 54), which cataloged Mike's racing life up to that point and his chase to pilot the first turbocharged door-slammer through the quarter-mile in 5 seconds. At that time, Mike's car had run 6.27 seconds in the quarter and he felt close enough to the record to talk about it in HOT ROD. To cut to the chase, Mike recently achieved his goal: piloting his 3,700hp, twin-turbo, 572ci Monte Carlo door-slammer through the traps at the Spring Open at Valdosta Dragway in Valdosta, Georgia, at an astonishing 5.97 seconds at 251 mph.
