I'm hoping for a STRONG tail wind this weekend!

But realistically figuring 195 in the Mile with recent mods.

Thanks!

Default Results from Mojave Mile!

Well, we had a great weekend up at mojave! Had a decent tail wind, but also was a cross wind. Still better than a head wind, or now wind.

Exceeded my goal of 195!

Made 8 passes, all pretty much within 1mph of each other, best run was 197.7mph in the standing mile! Picked up 10mph from before the cam and smaller blower pulley!

Couldn't quite get the 200 in the mile unfortunately, but did make an impression on the guys from Hot Rod Magazine, and they're going to do an article on my car, along with a ford gt and a dodge challenger!

Good Times!

Dave

Congratulations Dave! Beat your goal and made it into Hot Rod magazine, I'm not sure it gets much better than that.

Congrats! Those times are awesome!!! 197.7 MPH is elite.

Where there any stock ZR1's there? If so, what did they run?

Peace,

Hey Rob! I really like the everyday driveability. No issues at all. I think the idle is so clean crisp. I really enjoy driving it with the mufflers in 'quiet' mode... you almost can't tell, and then you open up the pipes... and BAM!

You won't be disappointed!

Thanks,
Dave

It's so awesome that you have a area such as that where you can stretch your car out with no worries of flashing reds and blues chasing you.
Congrats on your runs that's awesome.
