    128 is my current land speed record. I doubt I'll ever top that unless at a private track of some sort. The car was great / very solid - it was the possibility of Johnny Law that has me not wanting to break the record.

    Speaking of that, are there any air fields that one can use to test out the limits of their car cheaply? I'd like a nice 1 mile stretch of airstrip to drive my car around on..

    Not exactly the same as what he's got in his car, as this is the LS7, but you get the idea.


    The Vette LS7 is 7.0L which works out roughly to 427ci.


    And thanks Kaiser, but Texas is too much of a haul for me.. I'm thinking like something in New England, preferably within my own state of Connecticut that I can take a day trip out to and run the car.
