Default Lethal Performance ZR1 9.71@146 at Baytown rental

Well we loaded up and went to Baytown to the LMR rental. Prostreet invited us to the rental and we gladly accepted. We pushed for CCW to get us the front runners but it just wasnt going to happen. John did get us the rear's and that was enough for us to get the 150 mph pass at SAR the week before. But we where stoked to go to baytown and run at a NHRA track. There were some nice cars running that day and records got broken and goals met. We would have gone faster but the rear half shaft said it had enough when the car finally dead hooked! All in all we had a great time and would like to do it again! Thanks for the invite once again Andrew! Now for the pics! Video is uploading

Looking forward to the video, I wish the front runners could have made it in time. MPH is ridiculous considering the headwind y'all were up against. Cant' wait to see this car run at the Mile

Yea CCW just couldnt get it done. Texas mile is next. Danny will order the hard parts we broke from the dead hook and we will go faster! The Texas Mile is gonna rock! Will the ZR1 do 200+ We are going to find out and hopefully corvette mag will be doing a feature on the car out there

This was a last min thing. Prostreet texted me how many cars we where brining and the scramble started. We ran big red for the last time with the YSI because we have a brand new TTIX kit waiting to go on it this week. Still did 153 mph on the big end with the nasty headwind. The owner was happy and we werent going to push it due to stock rear parts. Car is driven on the street daily on E85

At SAR

Wow that is pretty impressive. I am surprised you guys have the cars so low and still get them to hook on a radial.

Can you link us to a dyno of big red. I believe it was a ysi ls7 427 around 950hp ?

Did the wind die down for the 2nd run with big red? The smoke actually looks like it hovers there almost moves like a tailwind?
