1995 Honda Civic - Miller's Time
Outlaw Class, Meet BenchmarkChris Miller's '95 Civic
Chris Miller is summed up in a phrase: "To all the people who jumped ship, or hate on me because of what I do, how does it feel?" As an East Coast native, Chris had some thick skin to start with, but looking at his history, it's hard not to be at least a little jealous. "I got on a Trans-Am racing team right out of high school and did the traveling thing with them. When I had time at home, I worked on building NRG Tech." Before Chris was even able to rent a car legally, he'd already had a half decade's worth of professional crewing under his belt, and a well established reputation as a tuner. As Chris got older though, the schedule began to take its toll. "I got kind of burnt out on the traveling and never being home, so I stopped doing that and started doing the NRG Tech thing full time." Chris's reputation for quality work and a willingness to help anyone do almost anything certainly contribute to the phones ringing off the hook at NRG Tech. "My heart's in tuning imports, but I'll work with anyone. I've been doing a lot of work with domestic cars, and we tuned the world's fastest street Corvette a while back. We can do anything though-engines, chassis work, tuning, you name it." Chris speaks of his accomplishments in the same tone most of us read a grocery list, so I'll cut through his humility; Chris neglected to mention, until asked, that he runs "50s." Not trap speeds, not reaction times, 50s mean 8.50-second quarter mile runs, which, in case you're not familiar, is deadly fast. In fact, it's fast enough to currently hold the title of the world's fastest FWD street car. Speaking to his humility, Chris said in regards to his record setting run, "we weren't trying to do 50s, we just wanted to see what the car would do, so I pushed it, and Bam! 50s."
