Default ***Late Model Racecraft now has the Worlds Fastest Corvette***

Just went 231mph with a 21mph head wind. Going to add some boost to her and try it again first thing tomorrow morning. Hopefully the wind wont be near as bad.








Also set the record for the worlds fastest camaro with a 243mph run but had a valve cover gasket push out and had a flash fire that hurt some wires. We are trying to fix tonight so we can try for the OVERALL record in the morning. 250+ here we come!!

That's cool but that's also the bad thing about modding and boosting engines to such an extreme, they never stay together long. Good luck tomorrow

Congrats!!! That is an amazing feat especially considering the heat (90+ degrees) and the wind.

Yes please tell us the mods in this ZR1.

I've encountered head and crosswinds in the mile and I'm sure you could get more out of her.

This is a bigger accomplishment for you and the Corvette brand than a lot on here might understand.

Big congrats!!

Corvette made 23lbs of boost in 3rd gear, which was 5 more than yesterday, then broke the trans..

Camaro went 244 today, josh had to lift a couple times and at the end becuase of the crazy head wind.

The TX mile staff recorded 31mph head wind today. We are not going to try anymore today due to how unsafe the conditions are.
