Year One show's TT 69 in Bill's pics
I am suprised that no one has mentioned the black and silver TT 69 Camaro in Bill's pics of the event. I talked to the guy a little bit and it is quite the car. Go to the "Events" section where Bill has the pics and it is about the 5th row down.
Anyway, this car has a twin turbo'd 408ci LS motor with an automatic. On his board it showed that it made 900 hp and 7XX torque. The car was stunning!
To the story...we spend a fair amount of time at the drag strip and on Friday night they had a little test and tune going on. I see this Black and Silver 69 coming down the lane. He eases up to the box and does a small burn out. Stages, light turns green and he leaves like he is going to the 7-11 for a big gulp and he was not thursty. About 60 feet out the car looks like it got shot out of a gun, but it was making no noise. Half track I say to my friends he is going to post a good number...10.7 at 138.
The owner thinks he can get in the 9's with some good rubber...with the run I saw and 900 hp, I sure hope so. That was their 1st and only run down the strip.
How about that for a PT style car?
