As soon as my buddies upload and edit the photos I will post to this thread. The good one of the 195 mph run will be posted a little later. You guys will love hearing me talk to the car and a epic fistpump at the end.

the best i have seen from a magazine is 172 mph. i have hit 175 mph in mine on GPS. it took me 2 miles to hit 200 mph from a dead stop though :eek
 
Thanks for posting the vid. Looks like you had a heck of a time!! :cheers
 
Excellent videos. Congrats on the 195. I enjoyed meeting you.

How many tanks of gas did you go through anyway?
 
I like the "HUH" at the end!

On the 16 runs I did on the 2 days I would say I used 8-10 gallons.

yep, that was kinda a "I hit the 190 I was shooting for and a little bit more" kind of statement. :lol

yep tailwind Saturday. Shift points were 1000 below redline in 4th to 5th and 1500 below in 5th to 6th.


I only needed up to 5th in the GT.
 
Congats on your runs, I missed being there this year. Maybe next year with a new project.
 
On the 16 runs I did on the 2 days I would say I used 8-10 gallons.

Well let's see, one mile down the track and one mile return equals 2 miles per run, times 16 runs equals 32 miles on ten gallons of gas. I may not be the sharpest tool in the shed but I think that comes to 3.2 miles per gallon.

I only did 7 passes and used about the same 10 gallons (c16 race fuel) which works out to about 1.4 miles per gallon so the twin turbos seem to lose the fuel economy challenge.:lol

I'd take that gas mileage ANYDAY!
