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!
As we try all out to grab an extra 100 horsies

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