Default Drag Video of Tim Palmer @ TX2K8

Timmy P a very good friend of mine did some work at TX2K8 this past sat.

First video is of Tim vs the Powell brothers:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nc65-IaliNE

I want to add that the Powells Z06 is without a doubt one of the baddest C5's on the planet.

- Evey time I see this car its getting quicker.

Congrats to everyone who help build a badass machine! 9's are soon to come for you guys for sure!!

2nd video is Tim vs a supra:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrAo3jQ4CHw

This is a street driven car on D/R's and on his pump gas tune. (8XX)

- His Race gas tune is (1180)

Thanks for the compliments G. I wish someone had some video from the front of the cars because I think Matt may have pulled the tires an inch or so LOL!

Tim's Viper is insane! If he gets in the 9s on 19's.. that'd be just pure insanity!

I am thinking of doing another C5 Z06

With a 502 LSX N/A motor in it (Try to get 700-750rwhp)

Racecar. 700 rwhp NA isn't what I'd consider drivable, it is much easier to build a car with boost to retain drivability.

Get the old car you wanted, they have tons more room under the hood and also go UP in value each year.

Agreed.. Plus that's timeless good looks.
