Drag Racing Tech - Pulling Away from the Competition...8.83@159MPH!!!

The ARE Z/28 has done it again! This car is making steam!

We made our first 3 passes of the year at TMP Dragstrip today with a very muggy/humid day (actually rained all moring). The track was VERY slick both ends of the track! (more on that later)

First pass went 8.98@157 mph, then a 8.88@157 and the last pass pulled the 8.83@159MPH on a 1.37 60' !!!!

Wade had quite the handfull on the topend as the car was skating quite a bit at 1000 feet on, but the 'champ' managed to drive it thru on all 3 passes!! Unbelievable that this car is spinning the tires at 1000'+ !! We are losing MPH because of this, I think he pedaled it a few times.

We have a few small bugs to work out in the car, turn up the power a little, get it to hook a little better, etc. I don't see a problem with hitting 160mph + on a regular basis! Should be an interesting year ahead!!

Cool,now get back to work and finish my car :).With better conditions,their is alot more to be had.KOH class at BG better look out.

We also had a Gold TA there, Brian drove it out to an easy 9.64 second pass. Beautiful car!

Congrats guys!!! you had to know it was going to happen!!!!!! how about some video!!!!

all i can say is 8.83@ 159!!! :eek2:

that is awesome... interesting year is correct! i am sure wade was quite pleased. nice 60' as well. have Wade toss in a 6spd if he really wants to 60' lmao!!!! j/k! i wish i would've drove up for that!!!!!!

Damn!!!! :eek2: :eek2:

Way to go, guys! I can't wait to check that thing out in person at the N vs. S shootout!

Maybe instead of just bringing my block, Wade will be a nice guy and build me a duplicate of that motor for my car! :jest:

That is hauling ass! Was that Brian from Parma, Ohio? You guys are smokin'! :cheers:

Yes I beleive it is

Dave congrates ,but dont you think if the "Sled" gets a good pass, that wade is gonna get upset... :burn:

Congrats!! I wanted to head out but was hit with SARS today...

(Severe Acute Runny Shits!)

Congrats on the times, weather wasnt ideal at all! I think 8.6-8.7@165mph is in the bag!!!
:cheers:

Might we expect the fastest 4th gen title to go to an LS1 at BG... Got an 8.74 in your bag of tricks? :)

That is a HUGE mph. Congrats on the run! Should be an interesting year. Post the vid if you have it.

Congratulations! I remember a couple years ago when nobody could get in the 8's on stock style suspension, now you guys are in the 8's and getting deeper and deeper! :)

You guys are hauling a$$.

So what about a motot trade. I got this nice refreshened iron block. I know that you want it. I'll even make it an even trade. :)

Dave congrates ,but dont you think if the "Sled" gets a good pass, that wade is gonna get upset... :burn:



Ya me and Wade like to 'discuss' the good and bad of each of the LS1 and LT1 qualities from time to time
:punch: ;)

:hail: :hail: :hail: ARE

Congratulations again (I was a witness).

Dave, Wade: Sorry I didn't catch up to you and Barry and Stew at the restaurant. I had to stay and iron out a small problem at the track (management wanted to close early even though the track was paid for until 9 P.M.).
