Yeah, he has a lot of videos. He used to be on TGO (when they still had descent tech), he seems to be a really nice guy, who is a real gear-head.

I have always wondered though, how they are getting those crazy speeds without any aero work. Sure the stock firebirds have a nice low CFD, but I would think for 250mph runs, the would have some extra aero work done to keep the car on the ground.

I wonder which engine config he was running also. I know he has used at different times, turbo's and a procharger.

Some where in my archives of crap, I have a car and driver from 1983 or 1984 with a 200 MPH Trans Am / 3rd gen.
It was built in CA, of course it was Red!
I'll have to find it, everything about the car was listed.

Hey Pop... that is just crazy fast right there!
I find it interesting that the choice of vehicle has been a 3rd gen!

I think I have that HotRod too. Guy was running an early Z on the salt with a 307 and a two-speed IIRC.
