Scott Pruet drove it at Putnam Park road course and hit approx 160 on the front straight.

200mph for a car nowdays is no hill for a stepper..That damn Lambo Gallardo hitting 250mph in a mile ain't too shabby..9.1 in a quarter at 168 mph with street tires..whoever heard of such..I've always hated Lambos, but this setup is giving me a chubby...and at 65 yrs old, that's saying something..

about 1500 to the wheels. With four wheel drive they lift the front wheels a tiny bit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BwIniaHIUE

Bob you and Doug both need to call SW, then you both would own a turbo Lambo! http://www.elitemotorsports.com/ Looks like he has a couple in stock....

No turbos on those Lambos... if a turbo motor sounded good I'd pull the Hemi out of the cuda reduce the compression and twin turbo charge it...but turbo motors dont have the exhaust note needed...and the Cudas got a good amount of HP!

Beleive me I here turbo motors all day long. They sound like a clogged up muffler from Kragen. Nothing beats a cammed up big inch small block.

Small Block??? Come on

I did hear this naturally aspirated Ardun at the La Roadster show that sounded unreal. But a Big Inch Big Block is a pretty safe bet for your listening enjoyment. That 69 Camaro you guys brought to Columbus sounded pretty bitchin with that light weight clutch and flywheel.
