There's no stock sx or whatever you're talking about with numbers like that.

It is from teh Road and Track Kings of the Quarter mile article. It was a 180SX body, heavily modified, with an 1100hp straight 6 in it. It had nothing from a stock car in it. It was a drag car. Pure and simple.

recently, the 427tt ran an 8.95sec quarter mile time. this kind of performance with a 2 year/24,000 mile warranty and a FULL interior is insane....no Hennessey(sp?) can compete with that.

I agree with Hakka. For most people, running in the 12's is amazing, 11's unbelievable, 10's are rare, and incredible, 9's are usually legends, now, 8's, its beyond words....

I have the video of the Vette vs Jet and that Lingenfelter Corvette is a beast, plain and simple it ran 0-60 in 1.9 seconds and it topped out at 240mph enough to outrun the Jet the Blue Angels (Navy) flies on the ground to 60mph and to the 1/4.

It was a thing of beauty and I believe if it had hooked up better even more speed would be possible with lower et's.

The Vette IMO is the best damn sportscar for the money or otherwise period, just throw in Lingenfelter's TT's and you will slice and dice anything on wheels.

I love the Vette, my dream car is to own a TTZ06 Black.

I don't have a link, I downloaded the whole show of that run from Kazaa, just do a search it might still be there. I watch that clip often and I'm just blown away by the Vette.

Like I said the Vette is the best, hands down.
