Re: 10.97 @127+
I heard about the 12.08 timeslip and wondered a little myself. What were the 60' , 330' , & 1/8th mile times? The best time I've beat out of my Hemi Challenger has been 11.95 / 121 mph. That was with a 3850lb, 4spd car, making 667 hp at the crank. My heater, wipers, and all four 11" drum brakes, were on the car, and in working order.
I am not as surprised with the L88 vettes though, the pure stock rules were not written for them, but they may as well have been. Wayne Nelson and I, discussed at length, the advantages of L88/L89 and even LS6 Vettes in FAST racing. The advantages are obvious and too numerous to list. Unless someone offers a $50K purse for the winner of a FAST event, I'll just keep on doing the Don Quioxte routine with my fat elephant.
