Congratulations Wade and the ARE crew, first 4th gen stock suspension f-body in the 8s! I'm glad to see that the LS1 beat the LT1 into the 8s <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

8.97 @ 154 mph from my insider sources, not sure on the 60' time or weather conditions.

WOW!!! Congrads

 

Simply awesome! ARE sets yet another LS1 record (on nitrous again of course).

Now are 8s possible NA with a C5R setup? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

 

Just got back from the track. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Raceweight 3250 pounds.

NO TRANSBRAKE (They had problems with it, the 8.97 run was off the footbrake! (8.7-8.8 will be possible launching off the T-Brake hehehe <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Not positive on the 60' but I believe it was only 1.39.

Congrats ARE on a new record, the car has a LOT left in it for sure. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> It is a testament to the strength of their motors and their resleeving process.

DA was 722 feet. It was raining when we first arrived but it dried up and the weather in the afternoon was a lot better.

Cheers,
Chris

AWESOME!

 

I wish I was there to see it happen! Congrats to ARE!

 

I was there to witness history. Congratulations on your master plan unfolding according to . . . plan. The next horizon: 7s.

 

Um...I don't think that is a resleeved motor. If it is...why don't they recommend over a 150 short on their blocks? 8s are an unblieveable achivement none the less. Hell...I hope it is a resleeved block...I have one in my SS.
