That’s right, in only my second time physically sitting in John's Monster, I ran an 8.77@158 with a lackluster launch and only a 1.44 short time. I was definitely not the smoothest driver of the incredible car but I did my best. This was one of the first times I can honestly say that the car really humbled me. My driving really did not do this car justice.
Carmen, Dennis and Joey have done an awesome job with this motor and deserve the reputation of being the absolute best at building these big cube, big horsepower
FASTEST C5s IN THE COUNTRY!
Congrats to Kenny in his Vette Doctors 418 NOS Z06! He was yet another Vette Doctor's C5 in the nines when he ran a 9.9 @ 142!!
I know John G's C5R has a very low 8 in her! The car pulls like a freight train. It really does deserve the Title of Worlds Fastest Gen3 Corvette
My thanks to John Gorman for letting me have the privilege to pilot his Monster!
Great Job John and The Vette Doctors!!!

The motor is a 427 C5-R Block with C5-R heads .
It has a Kinsler Fuel Injection intake with a 300 dry shot of nitrous .
It has a Powerglide 2-speed Transmission .
From the firewall back the car has a completely different suspension with a 4-link and narrowed 9-inch rear .
I think it has a 32x16 inch tire .
The car should go low eights , maybe faster when it's all dialed in .

Very good you know a lot about this car. BUT it runs a 250 shot & 14x 32 tires & yes it will go low 8s. We are building a new engine for next year. We want to run with Keiths Big block. The pro 8 is going to be an all 8 sec field next year.
