There are four straps holding the back end down, and she still blows the tires off around 5000 rpm.... We finally got a good run out to 6800 hundred or so and packed up to head to Beeville. That's me sitting on the trunk in the video, Rob the mechanic and Justin the fabricator... We rotated positions occasionally.... Believe me, we don't like it either,
Yeah, and the dyno pull in the video wasn't even the good one. For the good dyno pull, they had two people sitting on the trunk, and one person on each side standing on the rear straps

Robert I thought you had a set of 17 inch welds for track use of your car?
Were you on street tires/wheels ?

The 17's are for the drag strip... The rules don't allow drag slicks... I'm looking into getting some 19's and Hoosier tires...

I think I pissed myself when onstar came on. SORRY I DON'T NEED YOU. This is probably one of my favorite camaros on here, following this build along is one of the reasons I stick around.

Hope its back up and running soon.

I hate to be the bearer, but your record went down last march... Finally.... Congrats are in order for setting the bar so early and so high... It took a long time for any other to catch you...

One guy went 210.9 and another went 205 or so.... You guys certainly had the record for a long time, three or three and a half years....

The current record is 217.0. Set by the same guy that went 210.9... He made a 215.1 pass and then went 217....

I for one would love to see you guys back out there.... I know it's a haul and you guys have lots of irons in the fire, but it would still be good to see other Fast Camaros from this board out there....
