Oldie but a fabulous YouTube goodie! Sledgehammer hits 254.7 mph. Reeves looks a lot younger in the video and you even get to see John Lingenfelter

Had to show that to my kids after we saw a show about the Bugatti Veyron and it's 253mph claim.
They were impressed and the youngest (9 years old) started helping with the work on the 86.

Yeah, nobody believes me when I tell them that a Corvette called a Sledgehammer hit 254 in '88.
