That's crazy...9's for relatively few mods. Any more information on the car, tires, raceweight?

Intake, headers, catback, tune, 75shot(through a blower), obviously some kind of aftermarket drag tire.

Street cars are starting to get so fast. Hopefully these cars will stay in the hands of smart people. I wouldn't want a car weaving in and out of traffic that traps 140 mph in the 1/4...

Yeah i dont think a ported blower, every bolt on, N2O, custom drag only suspension, and slicks to get it in the 9's is all that impressive when a stock z06 can get mid 10's. That is quite alot of aftermarket parts.

15 years from now, we will be getting much closer to having cars that don't require gas. Eventually, all cars will be hydrogen powered. Were going to run out of oil at some point...

I wonder what kind of performance market there will be for hydrogen powered vehicles? You know it's bound to happen!

We are far from going to hydrogen cars yet. We won't have to worry about it.

I agree, just thinking how crazy and wild and different it will be in the performance world once our kids kids switch to that technology.
