Here it is.

Thanks to Jared and Jeff for doing a great job with the video.

And mostly thanks to my son Louis for putting this beast together.

Wait till you see our next one

Enjoy.


Thanks

Very cool. I couldn't believe how lazy you could go through the gears and still get that kind of trap speed

I guess with the car being so traction limited you have to be pretty easy on her 1st-4th

Great job guys

Great video. I want one of those cars. Maybe in my next life.

Good job LG. 225 MPH would be unbelievable.

Great pics...would be good to see close-up of tach and speedo as you try to keep the car in a straight line. Terrific accomplishment to get a C6 to do that.

Thanks John,

With just a little work to this car, we can hit 220-225 mph BUT, to beat the 241 Supra we will have some work to do.

We will see as we get closer.

Yeah, Once we saw the tach in the evening run seeing the red needle climb up so fast it deserved to have the camera pointed directly to it.

thanks
