Fordman I can set that car up with a race. How much does the owner have to spend?

Better yet how much does your party have to loose ?

Do you know this car by any chance ? If so it is even faster than before !

I hate having to post a GM in here but I have to give credit where credit is do. But next hopefully I will be throwing my car into discussions like this instead !

Dale Earnhardt drove his vette around Daytona at 220+ MPH. im not sure of the exact setup but it is MEAN he has 8 sec time slips he says were with the AC on and this guy is OLD and its an automatic!
One of the guys at my church had a 98 C5 with the Lingenfelter turbos. It ran 10s. So Im not sure if that guy spent more money or what...I know there were was another 75HP stange above the 650HP that he had. But 8s is a big difference. That is still the fastest car ive ever been in. We were at about 20mph and before I could blink we spun all the way to 80 (45mph road). But yeah they were track tested to run 224 top speed.

A few people here know pretty close to what the Camaro runs but so I do not piss off the owner by giving exact numbers lets just say the 60ft. time is 1.22 with a automatic ! You will have t do the math from there.
