SW also had 500RWHP less then LMR 1800rwhp car. I dont know about you but I would take 1800rwhp and a head wind, then 1300rwhp and no head wind.

LMR isnt even laying it all down. At least in the video it doesnt sound like it! And that track is rough.

Just picked up GMHTP and saw it was at the wind tunnel testing. Also it said 1700rwhp. That is 200more than what I remember from the last mill. Bigger engine and aero mods?

Was to lazy to find Tommy's 247 video. People would bitch if I posted a Lambo video of the 250 pass.

I can't view other forum anymore but your fire comment was def. interesting!

I'm glad LMR is getting it done. I hope to see both the Vette and Camaro get in the 250+ area, they have the knowledge and power to do so. Really wanting to see what Greg and Gforce can do next time!

The lambos still went 250+ since SW did the 246, but whatevs. Everyone has excuses. Too much power and no traction, dyno queen, bla bla.

This Camaro is sick. LMR did an amazing job on the car. It just shows you how special the other mph's people have set really are. Everyone thought this thing would stroll to a 250, 260, 270. One they get there it will be a sweet feeling for sure.

i think some of you discredit how much track conditions and weather come into play when it comes to make a pass of 240mph +

there hasn't been a mile since in almost 3 years that hasn't had a headwind from 15-30mph....

Dam nasty z28. Looks like in the vid he rolled on the gas rather then floor it once he got up to speed. The supra lookl like it had bbetter traction. But I dont really care lol Id take both.
