Default New Personal Best 8.68@165!
Just got home from the track... we were having some traction issues so the 60's were slower than last Fridays 1.34's, but we did power through them and got a fastest ET of 8.68 and a fastest MPH of the night of 165.89!

I am pretty sure that is the fastest MPH of all C5's and C6's and the fastest C6 ET. We are going back out on Sunday and plan on turning it up a bit more.

Big thanks to all the guys at IPSMotorsports.net for all the great work and help with the car!

We do have video's of the run and should have them up soon.

With out a doubt you are the fastest/quickest C6. As far as C5's LMR has the fastest title @ 173mph. Congrats man.

Yeah, I didn't know about LMR's C5, that is hell a fast! I'll be happy with C6 records for now.

It is a TH400 as someone previously posted.

Thanks for all the kind words!

Well, actually Paul Major's C5 has been 200+, but it is not a street car

Nice results!
