MTI 427 Super Stroker ! A friend, who will remain nameless, took his recently built 427 to the track last week. The ETs were not impressive, but the car went 135 on grunt, and 143 on the ****. I got this from a VERY reliable source. The dyno #s are said to be 630rwhp. I was originally told over 650, but the actual is suppose to be 630. The mph backs up the #s. The car is a Zo6 with a rollbar and was on BFG drag radials. Im sure NineBall or some other MTI boys know which car I mean. Im pretty impressed!

As a matter of fact yes it is. Why the hell would it be posted everywhere? Unless someone was at the track that night they wouldnt know. The individual who owns it uses it for some late night racing and is not advertising it.

Youre right Shoe, I heard the exact same thing. I later got the correct info from the guy that was with him at the track. Actually the owner of the car is a buddy of mine. I also heard about the race with the Kenne Bell cobra.The car is for real.

Yea, at first i was going to have to wave the bs flag

"You may be right Colonel. I was told it was N/A. Did you ask Jason about it?"
I'll be glad to ask him but there's really no need. Trust me, if Jayson made that kind of power NA with ANY other engine than mine (remember, it's a full out monster of a race only C5R), he'd **** a solid golden egg right there on the dynojet and would call me right after he woke up from passing out!
No way, no how.

The mphs I can vouch for. I have total confidence in the guy that was with him. The rwhp #s sounded high to me. They did tell me the car is not real streetable. BTW , the air on that night was pretty rotten. Around 80 degrees and humidity probably around 75% That track is 18 minutes from my house. Ill get to the bottom of it and let you all know!I dont know much about strokers as far as what rwhp is attainable.Ill trust the Colonels judgment until I can see hard proof!

From: HOU - yeah, you know the rest.
I have heard the owner of the blue Z06 is really into street racing in Florida. He's got stickers of Viper kills on his passenger side window. I know what the car makes but will let the owner disclose the info., if he chooses to do so. It was impresssive to say the least, he could definitely use a set of slicks on that thing, instead of BFG drag radials it had on it @ MTI.
