5 second vette
Well not yet, but Annette Summers built a 63 splt window to run in Pro Mod. It has a 500 ci, twin turbo Dutweiller engine on alcohol. It hasn't made a clean pass yet, but is certainly going to rip once the get the chassis figured out.
I know that's not C4 specific but thought you'd get a kick out of a vette with what has to be over 2,500 hp.

Re: 5 second vette (LT-4 CE)
:cool: but seems like a waste of a really nice midyear to me. :smash:
There's a point when it becomes too much, and that is too much if you ask me.

Re: 5 second vette (65Z01)
Awsome, where are they doing the shake out?
That would surely beat any Cedar Point ride. :eek:

Yeah, I think that a ride in a car like this would destroy Top Thrill Dragster in terms of the rush you'd get.

2500 HP will not get you in the 5's. No way.
Top Fuel dragsters are running 6000-7000 HP and turn 4.50's at 330 MPH.
But, 2500 HP is pretty fast!

Too much HP,
Is that like having too much fun or too much money?
There is never too much
