Default Fastest Normally Aspirated Corvette!

Here's a an interesting FAST Corvette post I recently published on my blog: Fastest Normally Aspirated Corvette!

This took place at Harris Hill Road. This is a great 1.8 mile road track in South/Central Texas, with a variety of off camber turns & over 150' of elevation changes!

Enjoy & feel free to comment! Thanks...

Dan,

Nitrous Oxide does not qualify as Naturally Aspirated (No Bottle - No Supercharger - No Turbos).

Pumba,

I don't disagree with you - this is how this Corvette car owner (Mike, the Plumber) described his car. I usually post what I'm told in the interview...and push back when I hear something incredulous. This is what he insisted.

I did hesitate on labeling this post, as such, but I decided to go with it!

Thanks for the comment...enjoy the rest of the blog's articles!

nice car but that guy needs to look up the meaning of "naturally aspirated", or normally aspirated as he calls it. anytime you have to inject additional o2 to burn fuel its not NA.

Nothing is supposed to help an NA motor.

I read that

"Our longest straight is 962 feet." Long enough to hit 200+ mph and slow for the corner?

Hmmmmm ???
