I’m sorry. I can only take so much of Jim. I know who he is and what his job is. But to me, he’s a used car salesman. All talk, no facts.
We all know it’s gonna kill the zl1 1LE.Dude seems overflowing with confidence about the GT500.
Exactly. This is my point about this guy. He keeps making these tall claims and yet nothing backs up his words. He’s writing checks his ass can’t cash.He’s claiming it’ll need a roll cage for test and tune nights. For those non drag racers. Current rules are 10.0 and a trap speed of no more than 135. Another lofty claim. Like venom kills demons.

Your misinformed. It’s 10.0 and or 135. Before a roll bar is required.
I deleted my post to you cause I recognized it was most likely a typo when you typed 10.99. In post #11. But I’m not understanding your post above? Drag radials are dot approved. And slicks arent. Neither the GT500 or the Demon come from the factory with non dot tires.I literally post the link to the execption for street legal cars.
Cars with out DOT approved tires are not street legal. They follow the actual rules.

I believe I already stated the correct allowable ET and trap speed In my first post. It’s not my fault you typed 10.99 in your post. So I don’t need to figure anything out. I have an NHRA license. I don’t need any links. I deleted my post because I assumed your post was a typo. After I read it a second time. And didn’t want to come across as a douche. I’m well aware of all of the rules to 2008 and newer cars. And older modified cars.having owned both.I have now post a link to the actual rules, and to the 2008+ street legal exception. Ill let you read them and figure it out.
IMO the rules are slightly counter intuitive as tires and modifications to install better tires that give you better traction and more safety raise the ET time that you are require you to get the cage. This is where track officials get to be strict or lenient in how they interpret this exception. The 135MPH limit exist for both street legal and dedicated track cars.
