Top speed challenge vid
Hmmm, that track didnt look the smoothest either. Running that fast, I like the nice pavement that feels smooth, that looked rough and tore up, but hell where else is there a track that long to race down?
awsome Jim, way to represent!
what tires where you running?
to bad you didnt go just a tad faster to get to that 200mph
you need to get the rest of the safty stuff so you could have tried again, im sure you could have got more out of her.

Congrats Jim!!!!! What an amazing setup you have on your car. You and everyone involved deserve major props. It's awesome to see such a beautiful setup perform and look so damn good doing it. I think you've proved many doubters out there that your setup is DAMN reliable.
Keep it up, and look forward to hanging out this year!

I call B/s A LT1 car going 200mph no way only supras and HONDA and RX7 go that fast I bet my buddy sisters boy friend cousin in his 1.1ltr honda with a b17-8.992.465rgs/gts/ motor swapp can do it with a stage 4.9 nitrous kit and a 700 shot with a custom GT TYPE S SUPER SUCKER 500MM TURBO huh 
J/k

Went 218.9 mph.BTW great runs Jim! 199mph in an f-body takes some ******* *****!
Thats awesome, congrats man!!
If it were closer, I would have gone out too but I guess Ive got a speed governor at 170 or something cause I hit 5700 rpm in 5th with 3 42's and it was banging off the limiter...
Does it make a huge difference if your on slicks/DR's/street tires when going that fast in regards to reliability of tire?
