Im sure alot of you have seen the front page of our website with the black C5 Z06 that has run a best of 10.11@ 148mph... Well our customer got tired of dealing with the manual transmission and fighting to get the car out of the hole. It seems as if he wasnt going fast enough either as we are completely rebuilding the car with an entirely new combination. This build involves not only
Vengeance Racing but quite a few other VERY high profile names as well....

Finally, we have Steve Petty stepping up using his experience/expertise to get this car down the track as quickly as possible. Mr Petty bases his operation out of ProLine Race Engines Facility, but he spends 6 days a week at the drag strip working with some of the quickest/fastest teams in the industry. Mr Petty and Tim Lynch have proven to be almost untouchable in Outlaw 10.5 for several years now. We are extremely excited to have Mr Petty and all of his vast experience/knowledge as part of this build as well!!!
This car should hit the track Mid March and we will post results as they come in. We are shooting to take down quite a few records this year with an indenpendent Rear End in 2009!!!
