Default Ran the 1/2mi

I took the car to a half mile event this weekend and had a blast. Tons of awesome cars and people and no shortage of fast Vettes. Made a few passes, splitter and all which didnt help, and averaged 169-170. Couldve been mids 170s without the splitter but oh well, its made to take corners. Had a blast either way.

Time to head home

Your Vette is beautiful! I saw all the other pictures from when you went wide body but they didn't do it justice. These pictures do.

Where was this event held and what was the fastest speed recorded that day and by what?

Boost, because sometimes atmospheric pressure just isn't enough.

Thanks man!

This event was in Coalinga CA about an hour north of Bakersfield. Fastest car there was a Lamborghini Gallardo built by Heffner Performance that hit 229mph in the 1/2mi. Its a world record for the 1/2. That thing was around 2200whp.

That looks like a lot of fun! Wonder what mine would do? Guess 140s or so maybe.

I can't comprehend what >2,000 WHP would feel like.

Probably along the lines of prison rape.
