The 0-60 and 1/4 times are the exact same as the SS.

The white Vette won the OPTIMA at Gingerman and the overall after SEMA at Spring Mountain by a good margin. The Vette was about 1 second faster than the L/28. There are some tweaks in store for the L/28 from the Pedders side. Usually we would choose the driver mod and get a hotter shoe because that is the easiest Getting a hotter shoe than Danny would be harder so we tweak the suspension.

Wheels, tires, tranny, front bar and stronger shafts are the highlights of the 1LE

It doesn't look like GM SAE certified the HP figures of the 2013 SS LS3 M6 with 1LE performance options. Thus there would be no reason to publish acceleration times different than the already certified and tested SS LS3 M6.

Not very many better around the cones than Senor Popp, the original RAFT-master, who's now involved in NASA as well. He did a heck of a job in Pahrump with the White One (Vettes being his forte') and I'm sure he'll get most everything out of the L/28, too.

On another note, just got an invite for a Heritage Centre tour during the Woodward Dream Cruise, in 4 weeks' time.

Any word on a repeat of the "Wixom Welcome", this year?

Pete, will you be in Motor City for the WDC? Have LPE announced their set-up yet?

Danny and the L/28 are doing GREAT. Bruce Raymond brought his street car. He changed the wheels, tires and alignment, but that aside it is his street car. He and TJ Bain finished 3rd. TJ has never done an AC before. Ever.



5th Gen 1st and 3rd

That tour will be AWESOME!
I am planning on the Dream Cruise.
Nothing on Wixom.
LPE setup?

Congrats all around, Pete.

LPE were at 13 Mile and Woodward (next to the Burger King) @ last year's WDC. Has Mike got a location for this year?
