    even tho the driver wasnt all that great this was probably the most powerful car there. 427 stroker with a supercharger. when he came down the track you really couldnt hear much else, even the car next to it

    as great as hat vette was i think it was way too much for the driver to handle and way more power then youd probably need for a competition like this. as impressed as i was by it, its performance was a definate let down :cry:
