Thank you for writing that.
Updates, yes something are coming next winter.

This year drive for fun, fast next summer.

I try 1/4 mile 2 weeks ago et 11.111 138mph 60ft 1.709
My best 60ft was 1.574

Next year my goal is 10.xxx time.

Amazing!
 

Hello Six-5,

Just today I saw the u-tube video of your 196mph mile run leading me to the forum seeking additional details about your build. What you've accomplished is simply remarkable. Deep congratulations are in order!

By the way, there may be a chance that we're "brothers from another mother" LOL I have a home cooked Brandywine 65 roadster that I just spent 2 years going through a similar process. The goal was to build a C2 true street car, naturally aspirated, stock hood, fenders, bumpers, interior etc that was capable of running 10 seconds in the 1/4 mile without NOS. It's won some car shows and done well at the track. Final tune yielded 700hp at the crank. But more importantly I drive it regularly - and hard. Here's a link with some pictures and a run.

We're all looking forward to seeing you crack the 200mph mark! There is no doubt in my mind that you will. Be safe and keep the shiny side up.

Tony

Tony beautiful car and love the color. Amazing performance. You should start a new tread with this youtube of the 10 second run. It will not be seen by many people here who just follow the 200 MPH car. Everyone should see your run and the build.

Tony nice car and color 10+.:cool::cheers:
My goal is also to get N/A 1/4 mile 10.xxx.

I agree that make new topic of your 65.

Hey Kimmo, are you running any kind of instrumentation to determine what downforce you are getting front and rear?

I am fascinated by the work you have done to your car. Outstanding job!

Matt

I am watching (filming) the gap between tyre and fender, there you can see the changes.

No gauges yet.

Yes, I was impressed also!
Nice engineering job SIX-5.

Ah... That works. I have actually used video data in a similar way for flight test before.

Matt

HE DID IT!!!! 200MPH WAS BROKEN TWO MINUTES AGO WITH KIMMO'S AWESOME 1965 CORVETTE COUPE!!! HE STILL HAS FEW RUNS LEFT, BUT HE'S ALREADY PAST THE 200 MPH MARK!!!

It's all in Finnish, but you can pick up the relevant info (bikes are on the left and cars on the right column.

Congrats to my (proud to say) good friend for an astonishing achievement! :cheers::cheers::cheers:

An incredible achievement for sure!:thumbs:

Congratulations are in place here to Kimmo :thumbs:

After watching last year videos i never doubted that Kimmo would break the 200 mph :thumbs:

SIX-5 congrats on an incredible engineering and mechanical achievement.

And he backed it up with two almost 200 mph run so its really incredible, :woohoo::woohoo:but we all knew it was coming, didnt we ;)

"the car is full trim & full interior street driven car, it drove to airstrip and back AC blasting"

:rock::rock::thumbs:

Isn't that called a reliability?

Hell, yeah!

Congratulations! Awesome achievement for a street car, indeed.

Congratulations SIX-5! Surprised I'm not seeing the naysayers man up and apologize for being wrong about your accomplishments!

Congratulations Kimmo


:cheers:

Congrats and way to go! :cool:
An amazing achievement in an old brick like a C2, quite an achievement indeed!!! :rock:
