Default 164.35 MPH! I'm Telling Ya, that Silver Z is Flying!!!

The ARE Silver Z Ran a few passes today, all in the 8.80's but went 164 + a few times!!! This car is on a mission! Still fighting Trans problems, but it was charging top-end even though it was hot & humid.... Taner also ran some great times with his 9.60/9.70 bracket 6 speed LT1 car, good driving bro!

i'd REALLY be curious what that could do with a ladderbar setup on true 10.5" tires

i bet with a better tranny and a well prepped track you could hit some 8.40s

That is a HELL of a number on 10" tires and only 5 years of engine development.

---on another note, not to undermine your abilities but back in the day there was a shop up in new jersey that had a torque arm equipped stock suspension type 3rd gen that went into the 8.20s. I dont know if you are having any type of suspension problems but you really seem to be able to make the power, maybe just for your own benefit contacting him and pestering a few questions couldn't hurt your situation at all. Just a humble suggestion.

i just wish i could remember the shop name...i can email a friend and ask though for you if you'd like

Very nice guys! 164 is flying! Did you just band-aid the tranny after the shootout? Why don't you give Carl Rossler a call

We have our first Heads Up Race this weekend for points, and it requires stock style suspension, plus we want to run in these F-Body shootouts so i doubt it will ever get a ladder bar. The tranny was fixed, but was slipping in 2nd gear only. It was down in the 1/8mph, but picked up over 2mph in the top-end, go figure!
