Funny,
I've dug through every record from the Texas mile and talked to the people that run it, and have been there many times, and the fastest recorded Mile by any 5th gen Camaro to date has been 210.4, and that was last March...
When was this supposed 230 mph pass made, or was that a flat out top speed...on a distance more than a mile... Your talking 1500+ RWHP to go that fast. It takes about 1000 RWHP to hit 200 in the 5th Gen...
Funny, It's a small community of land speed racers, and I've never heard of this one, and certainly not at the Texas Mile... I've been there the last four runs, (2 years) and a shop out of Atlanta held the record for a 5th Gen at about 204, until last March.... and a guy in a convertible set the new record at 210.4.... I'll be breaking that in 4 weeks, but I would sure like to know when this supposed blast of amazement was made... and how no one else has heard of it... I'm not stating you're wrong, but it sure doesn't show up in there records and no one else I know has heard of it, including the organizers... Call me curious...
