That does sound pretty nasty... in a good way :thumbsup:
Trepanier said they had to bring in a Sun dial to record my time..lol..Alan told me not to hit a cone and screw up the paint or he'd kill me..he knew better than to let Cooper get behind the wheel..Cooper was like a worm in an ant bed all week end wanting to get in it and drive it. He finally did and didn't go 50 ft. before blowing the tires off the rim..like that was some surprise

he might not...I wouldn't let him drive it when I had it..his reputation precedes him..he's still bitching about that..i bought the Z06 mule car that GM used as a platform to build the Z06. I had him drive it out of the tent down to the truck that was loading it to my house. As soon as he got out to the street I heard it hit the rev limiter, then bang second, same thing. I could hear it over all the auction noise..he just can't control himself

I'm sorry --- I had to laugh --- that is funny right there!

Of course if it were mine -- He'd only do that ONCE... and then I'd shoot him!

Guys say - "well.... that's what they're made for"... YES --- I agree --- But if it's mine - I'll be happy to wing it to the redline... but I don't want someone else doing it UNLESS we've agreed that's what your going to do.

Hard to get a turbo motor sounding anything like a nasty cammed up motor with some compression. Alan and I both are into the sound. That 69 that Alan built for Nathan Powell was at Columbus this past year and made the final 5 for SMOY. ALan couldn't make it and neither could Nathan so they wanted me to drive it..Now that was one more nasty sounding beast too. Everytime I would pull up to someone, you'd see them slink down in their seat. That Carbon on Carbon Tilton clutch set-up makes em rev like an air wrench.
I would have to agree with you that was the baddest souding Camaro i have ever heard.

I got to RIDE in the Passenger seat plenty when Bob owned it...probably more miles than anyone...but I never got to drive it...I did ask, so same situation...except I don't know if Bob wants to ride shotgun with me behind the wheel...he doesn't like it in a rental car and I'll probably treat the Cuda just like a rental car [but with more HP...]

You left out the part why I was driving it in the first place...you can't fit in it with that tight cage...also this Z06 mule was run at Sebring for 24hours straight on kill...all I did was hustle it down to the truck! didn't want to miss anything... for the record it never was on the chip!!!!!!

Greg...shoot me? I always carry a blank check in my pocket in case I break someones weak link! and I'd love to own Bob's Z06 it would make a great open track day car!

Bob what did you do with that black ZR1 active suspension prototype? That car was neato.


Doug, do you still have your 55 with the 540 I think it was in it? The one I posted the video of?

Bob's got that ZR1 in his car building at home...along with about 60 other neat, different and eclectic cars!

Yeah, still have the 55...that's just a fun car...it's only been washed a hand full of times in years and it gets driven...took it to a indoor show dirty LOL !
