I watched 2 of them run here in Phoenix and They both were running low 14's and clicked off a few high 13's @ around 98-100mph.

Wow...I didn't know they still made 4-Speed Manual tranny cars. You do realize we are talking about S197 GT-H cars correct? Hell, the AUTO's were never released to the public. The GT-Hs were via rental only, and have just recently begun to be auctioned off to the public.


Are we all talking about the same car?

yes the brand new ones, 3 cars made with a 4 speed manual trans. the s197s.
all the GT-Hs went to rental and then are sold off just like the classic "rent a racer" pro-mo.

Every clown that rents one of those thinks he's a racer. I've had at least a half dozen rev at me as they drive by going the other way. One guy thought he was real tough and decided to stare me down. still never had the chance to play with one though.

I've just got intake/full exhaust and hooking up some spray. And I'd still play with them, someone has to put them in there place, why not me.

It's all a guessing game, until we start seeing dyno numbers being posted. Which isn't happenin' until they auction a few off.

Some of the originals were sold without being rented. But I see your point.

I was shocked to see only autos to the public. I would have thought a few manuals would have made it through like the originals. But, oh well.

i find that hard to believe since all ls1s tend to dyno over 300rwhp and weigh less, and also are about mid 13's. sometimes lows but not commonly.
