It's not Meaney's. I think there either talking about APE or Duke. I know Ronnie wants his record back. I also know that APE is going to run there car again. But not sure if they will have enough time to get it dialed in.

I will say this: If nobody goes 7's with a LS1 this year. I guarantee it will happen the first of next year.

Not sure about LS1, but there is an HPE LT1 car easily on its way to 7's. I think its a TA too...
It ran 8.3 with tranny probs and I think quite a bit less power than it has currently...

We are going to the track again on the 20th of this month. We will keep running her all winter, down south to get her tuned up for the shootout in Atlanta. Like Mike said, we need to get everything working together on the car. We have the power to get to the 7's but everything needs to work together. We're going to try 20% less boost for next weekend and see what she does. There you go Kyle, she will be detuned!!
The Ohio boy's and Harlan are pretty damn close, if they run more this year you could see that first 7 second LS1!!

Probably yapping about duke's vert. Full carbon body will drop alot of weight, enough for it to go 7's. Maybe...

So 2quick, where in MI are you?

He would have to drop a lotof weight to pick up that much et, right?? I am pretty sure that I have the lightest vert, so far. Only carbon is my hood.

100+ more hp, bigger tire, and 150-200lbs less weight. That should do it.

Chris, good luck and hope to see you guys on the 20th.

I don't think Duke is trying for 7's with the t-top car. I think his W2W built vert will be back out before to long. I've heard he got a bunch of weight out of it.

Oh ****, you're all going now??

Maybe i might change my mind now

Rumor had it Duke got a FULL carbon body made. Hood, fenders, doors, rear quaters, etc etc.

Hope he paid in cash, atleast for the sake of guy who made it
