John, regardless as to our differences in perspective, it's nice to see that you drive and enjoy the car! That's what they were built for in the first place, kudo's to you [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Thanks Marlin, I wouldnt own them if I couldnt drive them. I have been driving theese kind of cars since I was sixteen. The only difference is back then I bought them to break them, Now I buy them to enjoy them.

Isn't it amazing the difference a few years makes!? Do you ever get a chance to take the cars to a track? I've heard Rt. 66 is awesome!

Cint, Neat looking car! Hard to beat a Daytona Yellow Double COPO with endura bumper. Right Charley? Looking forward to seeing your Douglass car at a Supercar Reunion. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

While we're on the subject, you northern Illinois/Indiana guys might want to jump across the line to Martin, MI, May 23 and check out the F.A.S.T. racing. I'll be there with dad's Yenko Camaro, and Pete will be there with his ZL-1 powered COPO Camaro, along with lots of other cool cars. Should be some big fun, and some good racing. I hope to pick up where we left off last year and run some 12.80s...what're you shooting for, Pete? 11's? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif[/img]

Oh yeah, we rented Gateway Intl. for this year's Reunion (hint hint)....

Rob I raced my Chevelle their about a week ago for the test n tune. The track is a really cool modern track. I had a couple of decent runs of 13.90's at I think 97 mph. My buddy has a 2001 Z28 Camaro 6 speed with just a couple of bolt on adds and ran 12.84@115mph on the stock street tires and no headers!!

That's a HUGE mph for a 12.84, Frank! What does he have done?

**hvychev** · #**110** 05-06-2003, 11:58 PM

Rob I was mistaking it was actually 111.50mph I reread the thread he posted on LS1 tech. (I think you are a member there) Here it is with all the other stats. Still an impressive run none the less.
