Cool vid. What was the combo? I assume that is a 427 TT with larger turbos. You're technically required to have a parachute at 150 MPH as far as I know.

thats really something when you can make a car that runs an 11.6 and trapped at 121mph look slow.

That was fun to watch, and I hope that my slow vette is as fast as the 11.6 car someday.
