Yeah I saw that, great number!

I went 154.8mph bone stock back in November before I built the car.

We are putting in a 440ci built LS7 with a twin turbo set-up in a few weeks, should give us some decent power :rockon: 200mph is the goal!

Good luck! Keep a close eye on the front bumper overhang, Hennessey had some issues with high speed testing on theirs - but I've heard it's been fixed by GM since then.

Yup, I also need to check the rear diffuser as it also has a tendency to take off on it's own at these speeds. It needs an extension so the air doesn't get caught up in it. We'll find out soon enough!

Haha you have no idea! She has lived an eventful life :rockon:

10-12 track days, 100 passes in the 1/4mile, 20 or so passes in the standing mile and about 10K daily driven street miles. And she's only 5 months old :)
She runs like a champ though

Great video and the car sounds great. What exhaust are you running? Camaros have the craziest looking stock mufflers I have ever saw. How do they flow?

I'm definitely happy with the mph, now time to go faster!

Kooks Long Tubes and MBRP cat-back with catted mid pipe, sounds insane at 7k!

These flow great, and are 3" compared to 2.5" stock

My wife shifts faster than you. Learn to shift faster you'd probably pick up another 5mph. Either way it looks fun.

hahah trust me if you saw Erik's credential's I don't think you'd be commenting on his driving skills!

How were they measuring speed. Looked like there were two guys standing out on the big end...

Gotcha. Curious to see what sensors they use. I heard they upgraded their stuff, just want to see what we're using. TX Mile is testing out an even more accurate setup this time out. They always keep the past setups as backup timers.
