I guess after you pass 140 MPH it doesn't matter. Hennessey uses shuttle runway to break 270 MPH. I did like Kennedy's speech that they tied into it. Also, watch for The Stig in the video.

Not quite as fast, though not far off and a lot cheaper, but I prefer the AMS tuned Nissan GT-R's..
7.98 for 1/4mile and 0-60 in 2.2 or something like that.

The Stig is on the key chain!
I like the GT-R' s. We have an exotic car rental place here in Denver, that's one of the toys they have in their stable. It was on my short list.
British, Australian, or American Stig?Quote:

But don't you feel the need? The need for Speed?Quote:

hoping to run in the high 8 second range in the 1/4 mile, and break 200mph across the bonneville salt flats later this year with it
Crazy! What kind of chassis mods did you do to that thing? Back in the 80s those frames would twist with a 305 HO. :)Quote:

ill have to post some videos i already have from the twin turbo iroc , last year it had a bone stock l98 engine in it with twin 57mm turbos and was running 11:30's @ 134mph
and ill have lots of new videos , i have 3 gopros for recording videos
Turbo on a 3.1? Wow...talk about stretching the design limits. That's impressive for the ol' 60º V6! Funny about the B-pillars. Can't wait to see the vids.Quote:

im in the middle of building one with a 4-71 roots blower , that project is currently on hold as the twin turbo iroc has been taking most of my funds and time lately
heres a few of the v6
stock bottom end minus good bearings , and piston rings , pistons are keith black stock replacements

the only thing trick about the entire bottom end is that its it has a really good balance job on it as i normally shift at 7100-7,400 rpms , it has seen 8,400 a few times on accident and usually involves me replacing valve springs once it gets revved that high
the turbo headers are custom one off 321 stainless that i built

lol i forgot all about posting videos
this is witht he stock l98 engine
anyways heres some from the twin turbo camaro they are really bad as they are from before i got my gopros
this one happens to be at low boost on my 87 octane tune iirc this was part throttle 7 psi 30-110 ish mph and yes i shifted 2nd- neutral to 3rd
i do daily drive this car so my normal tune is 6-11 psi on 87 octane pump gas i get away with it because i live at 6,500 ft above sea level so the first 4-5 psi of boost just make up for the lack of atnosphere presure that i would have at sealevel
