New ECTA 1 mile drag record of 201.82mph!!!
The standing mile record for the East Coast Timing Association (ECTA) was set by Winston Churchill at 201.82 mph through the mufflers and 22 gallons of gas on board. Previous record was mid 170's. Record was set May 20, 2006 in Maxton, NC. This was posted on another board a while ago (and I lost track of the thread and couldn't manage to locate it) and I fell in love with the car (though I already wanted a C4) and am really starting to think I need one of these.

Don't know if you have seen the in car video of 199mph at maxton.
http://www.ls1speed.com/movies/intmd8_199.wmv Watch the knose come down after letting off the loud pedal. The LT1 was silent and deadly. One would never know of the disney land ride. I came 1 inch from trading my 2002 Z28 for an LT1 vette with sole purpose of fixing little stuff and building a bbc for it. Anyone think I could swap the LS1 6 speed into my mini cooper (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/drink.gif) ? |

I don't dislike LT1's, I dislike Optispark and the limited production of them. And, standard L98 parts/SB Chevy parts cost almost nothing. Heads, cams, etc, it's all cheaper for the old stuff and they make good power (and I can tear them down in my sleep). |

I have that old '85Z that has the fresh 350 HO crate in it. That engine is coming out soon and I will need some advice to go to the wild side with it. |

We've put a few of them together over the years and I'm sure we can get you the power you want. |
