OUTSTANDING!! What great in car video! Congrats again on breaking that 200 mph barrier!

Also, kudoos to you for sharing your passion on your car with those cancer kids!!

So if I understood your notes above, your best was right around 11.00 in the 1/4 (with lotsa' tire spin) right?

Again, really enjoyed the rides! Your car is really tight and visually sharp!

I've never paid attention to the interior roof of the midyears. Is yours modified? The area above the front seats and forward appears different.

Thanks for those videos!

We are "brothers"...sharing the passion for these Vettes...a fellow '65 owner.

Regards,

Jim

Yes best 1/4 ET is 11.006 old M&T slicks and best with street tires, Toyo Proxess T1R is 11.554.
So far best speed at 1/4 mile, N/A 128.549 mph and NOS 139.187 mph.

Roof is original only new from Ecklers.

Thanks goes to Jamboolio who make latest videos.

Spoiler is custom made, it takes 4 years to make right one,now we have mold for it.

To get one there.......?



Now comes big if:

There is people who do not belive the speed of the car and also people who belives it.

To prove it to everyone is one thing.

To get everyone here in Finland and check it, maby too difficult.

But if i get sponsors, i can bring the car on road trip to USA next summer...........
Drive standing mile and some 1/4 mile maby slalom or tracks etc.

Same time it is possible to bring spoilers also.

So what to do? Next summer is cars 50 birthday and driving on route 66 shoud be good present.

Or do enyone have better idea?

Ride along to Denver in July 2015, for the NCRS 50th birthday for the 1965 model year. There are always guys with trailers and sometimes support vehicles in the caravans. Spoilers can be packed in a trailer and then displayed at the event for sale. Put me on top of the list because mine starts to lift off beyond 140 MPH.

I convoy with the C5-C6 and now C7 groups which typically cruise at well past the speed limit (conditions permitting). You'll probably be best suited to depart from the NY/NJ area with one of the Road Tour groups either Metro NY, Pennsylvania or Mid Atlantic to Denver.

There is also a Corvette Show-and-Go event at Raceway Park NJ every year late July.

So many things to do, if the trip will be possible.

My car will be under rules of Texas and Ohio mile +200 mph, that means to participate those events.

Waiting responce on drag week, hope that will be possible also.

And maby need longer summer holiday also.

But first i must get some sponsors, now it`s time to get busy.

Hope to see you in the USA next summer.
