No stranger to full throttle, Matt’s supercharged Commodore has run as quick as 9.60 at 150mph. A switch from a 3-speed back to a 2-speed transmission, Matt was hoping this would settle the car down off the start line. Power comes from a Magnuson supercharged 370ci LS V8 engine producing 902hp driving through a stock suspension rear end.
