????? Like a Callaway twin-turbo or something? If I'm not mistaken I think
this is the first (or second maybe) year of the TPI motor. Last time I
checked these cars were dogs (in relationship to other Vettes anyway).They
were mid 14 sec cars as I remember. To run at 123+ in the 1/4 that would
mean a HUGE shot of N20, major engine mods or both seeing as this equates
to 450+HP.

No argument there those things were pretty damn fast. Top end wasn't that
great but man, those things would launch HARD!
