The jet car in the 1/4 is something, in the mile it was sick but I liked the Jet Bike better. 1000tq on a bike, ummmmphhh! Honestly, I made friends with the camera guys, they liked my USMC plates and I think that helped with the video. I was not begging for air time, I just said hello, can I get you a cup of coffee.

 

Saturday night I TIVO'd "SuperCars Exposed". I'd caught the show before and was a little disappointed in it so I wasn't all that excited to watch it again. Tanner Faust is an incredible rally driver, but I thought he kind of made a fool of himself on the other episode I saw, and he sort of did on this one, but then I've got to give him credit for showing his screw-ups and not just making him look like a hero. Hard to understand how someone who is arguably one of the top rally drivers in the world can screw up so much and one can only imagine the kind of grief he gets from his friends who watch the show.

But... Talk about exciting to see a Crossfire, then watching the show to see it again and again I was impressed that the producers (or whomever) thought so highly of it to give it ao much air time on a show about "SuperCars". I've always felt that the SLK32 AMG and the SRT-6 really were SuperCars but they never really get the respect they deserve. I've never driven an SRT-6 at speed but I have done so in an SLK32 AMG and it is quite the experience in my humble opinion.

I think 152mph is absolutely awesome and it would be interesting to see what the thing would do without the limiter. I am so very envious! I've taken a couple of motorcycle teams to Bonneville and once the LSR bug bites one it is impossible to get it out of your system. I only wish I lived closer to the Texas Mile, or to Maxton NC as I'd be there every chance.

H.K., you are indeed "the man". Please do keep us in the loop if you make any more runs.

Can I bump a really old thread?

I saw this episode tonight. Yeah, saw you petting your engine, and then saw another srt-6 a few seconds later. Pretty cool.

 

So did I. Maybe next time he'll ask to drive your car.

+1 Someone be a champion and do it, theres barely any air time on any show of our cars

 

Both the same car, I'm getting ready for the March event and can't wait. My car has had a bad rear strut and has been at the dealership for 3 weeks and I'm pissed about it. I want my car back.

Are you going to have your rev-limit removed by then?

Ouch, I have had it removed twice but the dealership reset the ECU twice without asking me just before each mile.
