  • 200mph or bust - Revisited

    Some of you may remember this thread. Well it's finally out. It's hitting the stands now if you want to read more about the 210 mph fox body. I'm happy to say that this is my 11th cover, but my first for 5.0 Magazine.

    Nothing cool as far as a car goes, but if you want photos of your ride...I can handle that. Check out my Facebook page if you're bored.

      It is not hard to do. 650 at the wheels with the right gearing will do it. Being able to make your run in 4th gear helps massively if you are running a centrifugal blower.

      Congrats on making the cover. I am going to go pick up a copy.

        Takes more than that to do it in the mile with a C6.

          Thanks guys.

          There were a few people asking questions about it when I first posted the car. Hopefully the feature will answer some questions that I couldn't answer.

          Here's a video for those who want to see it in action.



          And one from the day of the shoot.

            A C6 transmission? It would take a gear vendors OD unit too if you are talking about that. Hitting 200 in just a mile would take more then the 650 that
            I quoted.

              C6 Vette is what he ment. 800rwhp 1100 rwtq Benz only did 191, 900 rwhp C6 did 192 so yeah it would take more than 650 in a Fox.
              Good judgment comes from bad decisions and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.

                Over 1k rwhp for this particular car to do it, along with the aero mods.

                    I talked to the owner yesterday. He said he's going for 215+ in the fall.
