Remember EDDIE BELLO and his daily driven Porsche 911?

[BingM3]

A few years back, we used to watch him rip off the track on his 911 daily driven 800 HP Porsche that did 9's all day in a 1/4's....now he's been competing the Texas Mile Highspeed

He placed 2nd with a 225mph speed in a mile, watch his dyno run

There's a reason why he was off the map for a while:



Luxury Car Theft Ring Broken
Three Westchester Men Arrested
Drag Racer Eddie Bello Among Them
Mercedes, Porsches, Lexuses

(WCBS) (NEW YORK) Mar 26, 2001 6:19 pm
There won't be any more laps around the track for a well-known drag racer from the Bronx, who was among three body shop owners arrested in connection with the theft of luxury cars from Westchester, WCBS 880's Marla Diamond reports.

Eddie Bello, 35, who has won fame with souped-up Porsches on the import drag-racing circuit, was arraigned Saturday in Mount Vernon on a charge of illegal possession of a vehicle identification number, District Attorney Jeanine Pirro said.

Bello, known as the East Coast Assassin in drag racing circles, owns Bellotech Performance on McQuesten Parkway in Mount Vernon, where he works on his racer and other cars. The owners of two neighboring shops also were charged with the same felony: Robert Benedettini, 42, of Yonkers, owner of Star Auto Body, and Anton Shkreli, 33, of the Bronx, owner of Evropa Motors.

Pirro said investigators at Bello's shop seized two Porsche engines and two Porsche transmissions, all with defaced identification numbers. At Evropa, they took two Porsches with defaced identification numbers, plus a Mecedes Benz engine and five air bags, similarly defaced, she said. They also found an illegal 9 mm handgun, the district attorney said. And at Star Auto Body, they seized a partially dismantled and defaced Lexus sports utility vehicle and a small amount of the drug Ecstasy, she said.

Pirro said the arrests stemmed from the investigation of a stolen-car ring that had specialized in swiping luxury vehicles from Westchester driveways and parking lots and shipping them to Asia. Eight men were arrested last month.

Illegal possession of a vehicle identification number is punishable by up to four years in prison. More charges could be filed, says Pirro, if the men were shipping auto parts internationally.

Last year, Today's NHRA magazine, which covers the National Hot Rod Association, said Bello, driving a white Porsche 911, had reached 161 mph while covering a quarter-mile in 9.17 seconds.

Gives a new meaning to "drive it like you stole it".

So it looks like we have a criminal piece of shit with a really nice car.

who placed 1st? Tommy Banh or someone else?

Boostlogic did with 229.7mph. This was running the minimum boost they planned on running. I guess the car has another ~200rwhp in it with more boost and possibly some nitrous if they feel like killing someone.

Tommy Bahn was 3rd. He spun the tires at a hair over 200mph and had to get out of it.

I guess the track was horrible. Strong headwind and semi-damp surface. Everyone was having a hard time.
