WOW! 
When the day comes that a 6 second 1/4 mile is routine, this video may become old then... Don't see that happening any time soon! LOL 
This video never gets old.............

This video never gets old............. It has been a few years now, and Wheel to Wheel is no more, but many of the ground breakers in this effort are still out there to include Kurt Urban, Denny Dera, Billy Briggs, and of course Mike Moran doing the driving......we can't forget about these types of historical events!

Nice find Todd, had not seen that vid in awhile. I love the sound of that engine at 9000rpm, wish the camera mic could have caught it better. No doubt this will be surpassed by somebody soon as that was a 4 bolt head/LQ4 block and 352ci LS, so much better available now.

I "think" casper was on a much bigger slick than most of the "new" guys run.

Actually was three of them back then, CV performance 404ci turbo, Ronnie Duke 427ci SC and my 352ci turbo in Casper. CV has been 212mph back in 05, but trans trouble kept the launch boost low enough that 7.1X I think was best et. Duke eventually went 6's also after Casper, I think it was a 6.96 with the GTO.
Casper was always between 2900-3000 pounds, but that engine would only produce 18-1900hp because of it's small ci and 4 bolt head. It did have a large by huge rear tire that allowed us to leave on 25psi and stick it well.
