Aw damn and it's yellow, my favorite on a vette! That's just way too sexy...
See and I like yellow on like Jeeps and Audi S4's but it doesn't hit me as much on the Vette for some reason
Lingenfelter + Z06 just owns anything

Uhmm John Lingenfelter designed that engine amigo, he's also the one that drove it 254.7MPH
That isn't "technically" a Lingenfelter or a Z06, it just had some headwork done and had nitrous. He's since put a supercharger on it. Love that video though, the guys in the DSM knew they were going to get raped, just not that easily.

300mph.... yknow..... I would venture a guess to say that 300 mph is going to be the next super car record to be held...... I would also say that 300 mph is not that far out of reach by current standards.
That being said...... 1600hp will get you there in a C5

that Liggy Z06 is close to 1600 on race gas and 28psi

A local C5 with a stock cube LS1 bumped 1100 with 17lbs on E85 out of a small 91mm.... thats a couple of hicks building a sub 9 second street car...... I would hope a full race shop like LPE could manage the other 500 on full race gas.
What?! That would be a record setting LS1. Hell thats a record for the whole LSx platform. There are twin turbo Warhawk powered cars not makin that much power. And those have an 81 cubic inch advantage, minimum.

I'm sorry I was wrong. Its a 408.... had to find the video to prove it.

could luck keeping a 300mph car on the roads. that would take a TON of engineering to do. backyard hicks can't do that.

It eventually ends up making a little better than the video on just E85 and he daily drives it on 10lbs.

All you need is downforce which most performance cars are engineered to apply a slight amount up to a certain speed.
Also.... Chris just bought a little bit bigger turbo....... It's going to be fun to watch.

true, but that same amount of downforce will inhibit the ability to reach top speeds.
we'll see what happens. maybe in 15 years or so.

Couldn't tell you. Last I knew Chris was rebuilding the IRS and getting a beefier clutch for the 6spd.
Hahahahahaha.
Real World > Textbook physics
And, to add to Cel's tire speech:
Tire speed ratings are very funny things. They're rated for SUSTAINED speed, now I'm not saying that a tire that is rated to 250km/h will go 400km/h, but keep in mind those speeds include braking. Nothing sucks more than going over 150mph and having your tires lose grip on the decel.
Yes, it's true that tire engineering has appeared to lag behind automobile engineering, but it's only an appearance. At speeds that high a lot more things come into play than just rubber compound. The automobile manufacturers have allowed this to be their "sanity check" so to speak. Also, there are things such as the gentleman's agreement to keep cars below 200mph.
Ever wonder why they prep the surfaces of F1 tracks? Gee. Makes sense now, doesn't it.
