Default R A T mobile

I just watched a couple of vids of the RAT mobile.. IT LOOKS BAD A S S KILLIN'those Vipers! Sounds good too. Too bad there weren't any times... Can ya fill us in on what MPH it ran? Looks like that torquey LS6 spun a little out of the hole, then turned right on.

Drop a line................. :D :smash: :cheers:

Sounds good RAT. My first time out wasn't a PRIZE WINNING Run either...Not terrible. It only gets better once you feel out the car and get used to it. Put some stickies on it..and you'll be in the 11's where you SHOULD BE ! I was.

Good luck,and stay in touch. :cool: :cheers:

Tony my head and cam Z06 brutha. My first and only times so far at a drag strip following my head and cam package almost mirror yours. My best 60' was a 2.4 and I couldn't hook up until I shifted to 3rd. You know what they say about Beech Bend's lack of track prep! :U In any event, I know with some stickies and prepared track, we are 11 second, 120 mph + cars. Too bad my stock clutch is acting up or I would have tried the local strip by now. I'm sure you'll be in the 11s yet this year doing all us Vette owners proud. :cheers: Now come to MN and I'll show you what these ****** can do on a road course! :cool: :chevy
