Anyone know what the record is... I haven't found any info, and I know it's not really a thing... but of like to know what my competition looks like lol.

I'll build one, but I won't be the driver setting the record.

Speed is for the young guns......

Any quarter mile times on that car bro?

They don't time the mile and didn't record 1/4 mph back then. He had a best of 192.5mph in the half though. Funny thing, I saw a fellow Camaro owner at dinner last night that's been 225.8.

I'm pretty sure one of the shop cars of the page have been 8.80s

I don't like the way the top flaps after 140 mph. Then its loose for few days or week.

JLGO · 08-09-2020, 07:15 PM

Are you driving with your windows open? I never felt or saw any flap in my going over that speed limit.

Taylortoons · 08-13-2020, 07:43 AM

I had mine over 145 mph several times and never noticed any movement in the top.
