Default Is there a new record for the fastest LS1 F-Body? Is it 9.29@142.4?

I was wondering if someone has broken Mikey's 9.51 record?

I think that 9.29 was Lingenfelter(sp?) 427tt with a C5R block. Not sure though.

I guess that would be the fastest, they are both in the same category too...both using poweradders... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Right, F-car record. Might be a car in the SE, with MTI 382 and big spray?

Y car record is 9.22 for the Steve D/LPE-built TT Vette.

Some guy from LS1.com posted about it in the 1/4 mile section. Check there.

He must be someone special for them to let someone make a pass at 10 AM when the track is not open yet.

Perhaps the track was rented for an event? Never heard of the guy myself, but seems as if he had some witnesses there.

What ever happened to Nick Agostino's car (formally Chris Endres car)? He had that thing ready to run I thought? Said he was gonna be the first in the 8's, and now we never hear from Nick any more?

I emailed Ghostface to see if he did run that 9.29.

Norm K is a guy in Spring, TX with a LPE 427 C5R Z28 that supposedly went 9.5's NA but I have no further info.

Selective Reading Disorder? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

F-Body = Camaro or Firebird

Wade is not the Y-car champ it's Steve D with the TT/LPE'd C5, Steve ran 9.22 and Wade has run 9.25 is that close or what!

I have been corresponding with Ghostface he should be posting pretty soon.

And yes, there is a new record. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I thought Wade from ARE went an official 9.2@154 or something in that neighbourhood.
