Geeze! All you guys are PC weenies! Tell 'em what they'll do, then preface it with 'on a track' or 'at the strip'.

Sheesh! :rolleyes:

"In second gear"

Good one and sounds about right.

I quote the GM Sales lit ">150mph".

That said, my prior '88 ran 105mph @13.1-13.3, depending on DA, with ~299chp.
Very sad to see Englishtown shut down their drag racing a few years ago...

I love bench racing. I have done 164 in Texas, at night..
But you know what I find cool. The C4 speedometer stops at 255.. What did sledgehammer do? 254.8?
