28 straight days on? Or 4 work weeks?

28 days on the rig, roughly 28 days off the rig...depends on the weather and helicopter flights. With 7 days in a week its generally accepted that 2/2 3/3 and 4/4 relates to that many days as mlee mentioned above..

Like was also mentioned, its rough on family life...you work hard at home to make up for all you missed while gone.and when I say making up for lost time...its spending time with and doing things for others.

Here is a TT Ford, it also shows the potential the 5.4/5.8 has

Much better video to display the power.

Hennessey has since went faster than 252mph though.

Yeah... Camaro has one of those too... throw enough money into anything...

It's not as simple as you make it. I say yes, if that's what it takes to even things up enough to get wagers going...

Ricer fly-by. ZL1 was just going to get groceries.

GT500 did it with bolt ons, tires, gears, and the stock blower.

10k. not 18k.

I was at Buttonwillow Road course a week ago, with my track prepped 97 SS with a fresh set of Nitto NT01's. There were a handful of Beemers, couple Porsches, some Honda's, 4-5 Mustangs, 2 Boss 302's and 1 Camaro ZL1 (black).

The owner of the ZL1 previously owned a modified Camaro SS, that he said he tracked regulary (he said he posts here?). Anyhow, my best time for the day was a 1:57.

The ZL1's best time was 1:59, and 2:01 as the day got hotter. Great times, for a stock Camaro. The owner was a really cool guy. Hopefully I gained another Camaro track buddy. We went and looked at the 2 Boss 302's, 1 was a 2013 and the other was a 2012. The 2013 owner, was his first time having the car out (car was bone stock, stock Pirellis). He was running consistent 1:55's! The 2012 was a Laguna Seca, and had the Boss 302S vented hood, and was running Hoosier slicks. He was running 1:50's.

All in all. A great day, and a huge reality check about these new Muscle currently available. I am seriously considering selling my 97 SS, and pulling the trigger on one of these machines. Best part of the day, is watching most of the Euro car owners expressions, as they got passed all day by the Domestics.....

Trust me. I wish it was the exact oposite. But after seeing both of these machines at the track. Facts, are facts. There were no hard feelings, and we were all giving credit and sharing a soda with the Ford guys.

I hope the Engineers at GM, are really reading this thread.

Not nearly the same thing, but I loved the 8/6 schedule I worked.

28+/- a day is a long time away from home I'm sure, but it's still hard to argue with 4 weeks off.

Every job has it's plus' and minus' I suppose.

And the debate continues.....

Why they did not post any track numbers, makes the entire video a waste. We already know the Shelby is quicker accelerator, with the HP and TQ. advantage.

Because if you read most reviews those are the standard metrics of measurement they use.
