No word on GM's or NeSmith's website about any of this. Anyone know anything further on the Spec Bilstein shocks they tested out a month or so ago???

Talking with Skip, Daryle and Chris Camp this morning they informed me I had posted a few things wrong. The engine is called an all steel 606. It makes 480 h.p. at the rear wheels according to a C.Dyno. The main reason for this engine is to be able to compete in SLM and keep a12in spoiler.

Great practice at N.GA. The 606 motor ran with SLM class. The first session out clocked the car at a12.97 and 13.08. Not bad for a crate engine!

12.97? On a dry track? Pretty good because I think that's pretty close to the NGS record on a tacky track.

really? what number was that car? I sure didn't see any one running that fast, fastest super I timed was Derek Ellis and Randy Weaver and they weren't in that range.......that car should of been passing cars left and right if he was running that fast....

Dale Mcdowell had the track record at 12.26 but some other driver broke it the following year. The car with the 606 had no number. It was an all black orange front end Rocket. They made one session and loaded up on an open trailer and left.
