Pretty nice
Not bad for a street car or at least one with plates. Now you can enter the 100 footer in lethbridge. how fast were you running to win.

Congrats Frank!! Car looks awesome......I just was wondering though??? Does the C6 get better fuel mileage on the street than a glide ??

512fairlane-we weren't showing them all the power but on our 2nd run in time trials the scoreboards showed we had run a 6.416 in the 1/4!!!!!! and I had the 7.60 tune in the car , turns out that at the 990 clocks we were 6.406 sec and something must have blow though the 1320 clocks beams .010 sec later ending the run !!. but I'm keeping the time slip!!!!! Oh yea , you should have seen the mouths drop when the 6.416 showed up on the scoreboards!!! especially the turbo motored boys !!!! and they all overboosted their motors and blew them up before we could run them as Friday nite I'd side bet every turbo car $1000 that when we run - the first car to the stripe is owe'd a $1000.00 and a down on the knee's bow that "I am Not worthy', so I guess instead of bowing they blew them up !!! I thought 70 lbs of boost on a 572 Indy block was to much!!!!
