Thanks guys! 
I was surprised it finally made the magazine. Pics were taking in BG '04.
It ran 10.6 in '04..one pass got rained out...In '05 it ran 6 low 10 second passes..best et 10.2 best mph 136.
Its my dads car now....Big heads...427...will be quite a bit faster next time out.
We have a little competetion going on now...my '07 Z06 427 vs his '91 LT5 427..
My Z06 just trapped 130.78 @5800feet...DA was 8000ft...I think in current config I have a chance at trapping 140 at sea level.
Z06 mods...cam, Kooks, Aircharger, HP tuners tuned by me. Oh yeah 17" M&Hs that just took out my clutch.

Kevin Shaw says at the end of that article "One thing is for sure, Rod DeWild's '91 ZR1 eats muscle cars with a knife and fork." Keep eating Rod and its ok if you use your hands. I hope your father heals up fast.
very nice

Yes he has multiple fractures, they had to put in titanium plates in his leg....2 plates on one bone, 1 plate on the other bone.
He is doing great, 1 day after surgery he was back at the shop....
He has been sitting there next to the 427LT5 with his foot up on the bench...staring at the engine--Id imagine if it could be brought into his bedroom hed probably sleep next to it too.
