I know a guy that is shooting that statement all to hell. He is literally building a 56 for nearly free. A lot of time wheeling and dealing and scoring cheap parts but last I checked he had a free LS1 and trans, tube chassis and all C4 suspension along with a complete body for free. Can you die from jealousy?

155+mph in my WS6, i need to get a GPS to verify my speed though. Would a phone gps work? Or does it have to be a special type of GPS to verify it?

Not really, the C1 is the only gen I really don't like that much. Besides that, I don't mind spending the money on these vettes. There is plenty where that came from. <old money>

Been 200+ quite a few times. Only on good runs will other cars and a couple of test hits. But most runs are done by 175-185ish but if its close some of us will stay in it to finish the run. Been behind mullet and another GT when they hung it out on one of those 225 runs lol!

You must have been on a bike with severely modified sprockets to be reading 175 in 4th gear. There isn't a bike in production nor has there even been one that will do such a thing.

Years ago at a new job, the group was out to lunch. Somehow the fastest you have ever been came up. I get excited thinking I have this locked up. All of a sudden our vendor is saying he went "200 mph in high school, in his '76 Volare, with a slant V8."

I didn't even bother telling my story.
