should of video'd the speedometer, I think he told me up to ~110mph, if you listen on the shiftpoints, you can definately tell its over 100mph, he hits 3rd gear at 85mph and you can still hear it go after the shift for a good while longer..

by the way stew, I believe that lightning was out at the track on sun, dont know if you saw it or not, but word is that it ran an 13.2?

i didnt see a single lightning run on sunday...now that i think about it only a dodge or 2 were the only other trucks runnin besides our crew...that i noticed anyways. if its the lightning im thinking about i beat him before i put the cam in. it was a mexican guy driving it from the pasadina area...he was driving it for a buddy of his. he usually drove a chevy and weve talked out there a couple times. he seems like a cool guy. he hung with 2 or 3 guys every time i met him and every once in a while translated our convos to one of the guys with him....


are we thinking of the same group of guys?

That should be around 100mph on 28" tires.

When is the ls1 vs 6.0 race happening?
