You can use what ever car you want but it has to be production car, no tubeframe, carbon body Camaros as in Drag Week.

Earlier Sieg wrote that texas GT guys made a rear section from carbon, why? What I know about land speed racing, like Johnnys GT, they like to add weight.

I was honor to meet Johnny at his shop a year ago and got a shop tour and got a chance to study his GT compare our stock one.
I know that car but that 283 number was at a unofficial "rental" using a V-box.. Not taking anything away from anyone, cars going that fast are in another league. I thought running 247 in my Supra was fast 5 years ago but now cars are getting crazy fast!
