Exclamation LMR Twin Turbo Corvette runs 8.37 @173mph!!
I believe this is the quickest and fastest IRS Corvette to date. This car is equipped with an LSX 427 and LMR custom twin 78mm turbo kit. Enjoy!

Great times for an IRS car!!

Congrats on getting it finished, it's been a long awaited project and it must feel good to see her put the power down.

Amazing car. The final round was a blast to watch as well. To see him catch the other car was sweet!!
