    I'm surprised there isn't a thread already. Who else will be attending? It's Saturday and Sunday at heaven's landing. I will be be there on Saturday. I happen to know there will be a couple cars out of a certain tuning shop in Alpharetta that you will not want to miss!

    Did you put real halfshafts/driveshaft in that sedan of yours yet?

    want to see what it can run when you are actually pushing it

    Not yet. I don't need them for the 1/2 mile...just the 1/4. I ran 174.55 in VA so I would say I'm pushing it pretty hard. :wiggle:

    I agree with Daniel! Bring DeathRoe out! I might be there on Sunday depending on my work schedule for next week, which I have yet to see. Anyone else going up on Sunday?

    I believe the dark blue one from TopSpeed with the lime green graphics was the only one to break 200mph on Saturday when I was there. The board was hard to see from where I was sitting, but I think it was around 201.xx. Not sure what the whp is on that one, but it was a monster.

    That car is around 1800 hp I believe....I know its at least 1600 hp.

    He said 1400 that day with about 300 more to tap into if needed, I'm not sure if he utilized it by the end of the day though.

    They never turned it up, as traction on concrete with that much power is laughable. With torque being limited severely (for traction), the shop car was still spinning all 4 in 3rd gear. Even with highly limiting the car, it was still the fastest car of the event. It's a monster for sure!

    Had there been any challenger this past weekend they surely would have turned the wick up

    Yep. Second highest ever recorded for a CTS-V. The guy that has me beat by 1 mph is actually a built motor 427 twin turbo car.

    Rob you were running awesome out there! I'm sure you will end getting that 1 mph + in September with better weather conditions (unless it's crazy hot).

    Robb were you in an all black track suit? If so I saw you from the back.... and liked what I saw.

    Hard to believe you weren't the loudest out there from your youtube video's

    If you're referring to the wiggle of the Caddy's rear on take off I agree, but if you were referring to Rob in his track suit I have to disagree. I prefer to see him in a 1 off JPM alcantara thong :eek3:

    Yeah that was me. Sorry dude...I'm married. ;)

    I was being told that my car was the loudest running out there. I did a full writeup of my runs. You can find it here --> http://robbsutton.com/may-2015-ga-wannagofast-recap-nopower-cts-v/
