Goliad is 30-35mi from the Gulf coast so it gets pretty humid like Houston does. Think there was a nasty crosswind on Fri/Sat also.

Some VW also broke 200mph running a very boosted VR6 engine too

Dallas Performance drove a ZR-1 down there for a customer after doing some really cool work to it and making some very impressive #'s. I promised not to tell what was done to the car yet, but the power was ~700rwhp.

Update from this morning as we are getting ready for lunch and packing for the trip home. Arnold went through this morning at 190.8mph and Ed Garza (Gotspd) with his stock 03 Z and a 75 shot went 171mph

It was super meeting Frank and Arun, spent lots of time chatting with them yesterday and I feel for Frank not getting in a full pass, but his Cyber Gray C5 is awesome and look forward to the Candian Brothers return next year

Oh the orange Lambo went 241mph this morning

The car is gorgeous.

I was told it put 1506 to the wheels.

Ended up doing 241, you can have the "street car" arguement with his car I guess, but that sucker is nothing short of impressive.

No doubt, the car is neat, I will have to get a better look at the recent work that was done. Underground certainly has a handle on those cars. My buddies Viper is very sweet too, they did a great job on it as well.

Kyle also has a Supercharged C6Z... another nice car.
