I wish I did.
At last year CI-VII I seen my first 9 sec vette.
Don't know who it was. It was red with Nitrous and the purging was done through the side vents.
Was that you Redgar?

Not me Zilla. I did not make the last Cruise Inn.
No nitrous either.
9 seconds is pretty awesome.
We should have few in the 8's next year and maybe even a couple of 7's
