Exclamation Vette Doctors C5R C5 Runs 8.77@158 1st full pass on spray! [VIDEOS]

That’s right, in only my second time physically sitting in John's Monster, I ran an 8.77@158 with a lackluster launch and only a 1.44 short time. I was definitely not the smoothest driver of the incredible car but I did my best. This was one of the first times I can honestly say that the car really humbled me. My driving really did not do this car justice.

Carmen, Dennis and Joey have done an awesome job with this motor and deserve the reputation of being the absolute best at building these big cube, big horsepower
:smash: FASTEST C5s IN THE COUNTRY! :smash:

Congrats to Kenny in his Vette Doctors 418 NOS Z06! He was yet another Vette Doctor's C5 in the nines when he ran a 9.9 @ 142!!

I know John G's C5R has a very low 8 in her! The car pulls like a freight train. It really does deserve the Title of Worlds Fastest Gen3 Corvette :thumbs:

My thanks to John Gorman for letting me have the privilege to pilot his Monster!

Great Job John and The Vette Doctors!!!

I was at Englishtown Saturday. That car is a beast!! Bill did great job of keeping it straight with the slippery track conditions..

Conrats to Carmen, Dennis, Joey and the "pilot" of the car, Bill..
