Exclamation LMR Twin Turbo Corvette runs 9.40 @155mph first weekend!!

RC ***'s 2008 twin turbo corvette ran a 9.40 @155mph first weekend out. The weather conditions were definately not the greatest, over 100*+ in the houston summers are not fun. We just wanted to make some shake down passes and did not expect to run as fast as it did. I did not have it at 100% throttle until 1.5 sec into the run. Here are the incrementals. Just wait until we get a little better weather and actually try and sixty foot this car. Can you say quickest and fastest IRS C6 corvette, while maintaning 100% drivability with radio, navigation, and cold blowing A/C!:thumbs:

60- 1.73
1/8-6.23
MPH-122.65
1/4-9.40
MPH-155.23

Man that thing is sick! Is there a build thread for it?

How's the boost lag, it sounds like it's very responsive!

440ci + stalled auto = ZERO LAG.

Definitely will be an 8 sec car. Its up to the customer if he wants to take it to the mile. I know we are for sure taking it to a 60-130 event sept 20th. The record is held by a supra with a 4.8 time. My customer bought the equipment to be able to read 0-60, 60-130, etc etc and his car has already ran 4.5 and 4.4 from 60-130, so it looks like the supra boys are in trouble!

My good friend Stephen!!!!!! First of all, congrats, that car is sick! You owe me a ride on September 20th!!!!!!!!!!

Now, to set the record straight, see below for the 60-130 record times...

6-Speed Supra - 4.51 seconds (Peter Blach black Supra)
Auto Supra - 3.93 seconds (Bob Helms black Supra)

Now, there is a Heffner Gallardo that ran 4.09 recently and the black UGR TT Gallardo that went 3.51..... Start with taking down the Supra's and then go for the TT Gallardo's!

Very nice! That's flying considering the soft 60ft.

4L80 right? I didn't know the overdrive in that trans would handle something like the standing mile.
