You can't even run on the short course at Bonneville if you can't run 200+ mph.
200+ ???? Not serious in my mind. It has to do with the aero, sir.

In that case you are correct, not serious at that level or about running on the salt. Not sure at what speed things get serious but this car was never intended to have tons of aero or be a purpose built land speed car. As you know, that’s an entirely different ballgame. More a restomod that could do more than look cool and burn tires. Too many folks build pretty with all the internal goods and never run them. We wanted to do both and be safe at the same time all while staying true to the cars Pontiac roots. Still pushing a brick through the air but it sure puts a smile on your face. No LS engines in my cars!
You guys have a cool forum and seem like die hard Pontiac guys. I like that. Have to stick together as we are fewer and farther between than the Ford and Chevy nuts!
