One was at our local airport run. It was 3-4mph behind me.

Walking around the pits I went by where he was at and overheard him talking to his buddy, he was panicking where he could recharge before his trip home. Apparently between the trip there & making runs he had almost no juice in his batteries left. Dumb ass. Should have brought a generator with him.

Hanging out on the deck later he said I should have taken his oldest daughter, my God-Daughter, for a ride. We were putting a few back by that point so it’s a next time thing.

A friend asked me to take his friend for a run at Canan racetrack in NH in the ZL1. The poor guy was closing his eyes halfway through and had to lay down after. He was queasy for most of the rest of the day. I am sure he never experienced being on the edge at speed. Kind of looks slow from the stands. Chevy did a great job with these cars.

I agree here, my ZL1 is modified so I see this even more. When I'm full throttle, I can feel the G-Force but at part throttle, its still so quick, I can go from 40 to 80 and feels like I'm barely moving. The chassis is so planted and stable that it just begs for more.

With your mods I bet that came hella quick.

Add: We may have seen 130 after a fast winder that had a down then up-hill crest.

It sure did! Had a tank of E50 at the time too so that always helps!

The old 67 Camaro had a best of 9.8@138... with 12.5" full on slicks, but with traction I'm thinking my current 17 ain't that far behind...a musturd would be...��
