Default Testing the new wideband gauge.. surprise ending.

Installed the new Autometer wideband gauge and decided to do a quick WOT blast to see the reading. I got to see something else instead.

(This was filmed in Mexico using smokes and mirrors along with other fancy special effects)

I got quite a kick out of it myself.

I let out right about 130. My car with the current set up has a max speed of 134 mph anyways. 28" tire, 3.75s, TH400, and I shift at 6K with a 6200 rpm redline.

The car has run a best n/a time of 12.02 @ 110, 1.58 60' with 4l60e 3.42 gears 26" tire. With the current setup I've run a best of 12.20, 1.66 60' TH400 3.75 gears 28" 325s.

My car is built for a 9 sec car from the tranny back but I'm still rocking the 87K mile stock motor. She wakes up just a little bit on the 150 shot and trans brake though. I've run a slew of 11.0s @ 121 on the footbrake and a best of 10.94 @ 121, 1.41 60' on the Tbrake. The car is built for the track. Low power but I take advantage of the setup for nice 60' times. You can tell based on the mph that the car doesn't make a lot of power. So, a 70 roll was definitely not to my advantage. lol Even on the bottle, it would have looked nasty... just not quite as bad as that did. I would bet that C6Z06 stock makes more power than me on the bottle. I only put down 424 rwhp. Intake/exhaust and that car would be 440+ add a tune and you're looking in the 465+ range. I've seen less mods on those cars put down more. My car also weighs 3480 w/out driver.

With that said, I'd put money down that I take him at the track
