**Late Model Racecraft on TOP GEAR** Just saw our video posted on top gears website and thought I would share with everyone. Hopefully they will get vids of our camaro as well. Maybe even get them to drive the car at the next mile event! =P

thats great but i think he could make it sound better or go faster without using the lazy TT way... give it to hennessey or shelby. im pretty sure mosler got 2,500 hp without using a ton of turbos

The comments are hopelessly pathetic. Most have no idea how much power it takes to go 231 in a Corvette in one mile from a dead stop.

Steven, I realize you guys pay more to balance your tires than I spend on my car in a year, but I've got a question...
Why start off so slow at the beginning? Wouldn't getting up to speed fast benefit your top end or does the car already top out?

i was reading this last night on top gears site, i even told my gf i said LMR is world famous now. as far as the comments go, majority of those guys probably wouldn't know the first thing about what it take to hit just 200mph at the mile.

they think that if there are faster cars out there, that somehow invalidates a 231 mph corvette...?
"zomg a superuh went 246 w/ only 6 cylinders, vettes are garbage!"
oh and i love the dude that said something about that car not being able to corner?.....as if it's the only car at the tx mi that can't corner.
