I'm getting ready to run my car in the standing mile in Miami Florida on October 11 and I'm trying to figure out what to do with the space between the mufflers. I would love to see what you are doing to your G and get some good input.

besides that, I just read in Forza magazine that Ferrari F340 GT car is 1st in the FIA world championship series and teams running them also swept Lemans this year 1-3, 6-10 spots (2 in the top 10 were porsche otherwise all ferrari). pretty good result.

7. Law/van Overbeek, Porsche 911 GT3 RSR, 115
8. Feinberg/Hall, Dodge Viper, 113

10. Robertson/Robertson/Murry, Ford GT MK 7, 105

Ferrari beat Porsche and BMW! It put on a very strong showing.
To be candid, the Ferrari was out there by itself. The vettes were definitely working together, as were the BMWs.

Its just like the 1/4 mile but 1 mile you go from a dead stop with a 1 mile shutdown. I'm hoping to hit 180+. What speed are you going to run 190+ I hope I can get some good ideas from your build.

I want to do the mile bad.....not gonna make it down there in oct, maybe next year in the spring though.
I'm prolly gonna run a 28in tall tire though to get the gearing help...would like to stay in 5th gear at the top end instead of needing 6th.
If you are in the 700rwhp zone 185-190 isn't out of the question at all, as long as you can get her moving and not spin much in 1st, 2nd...
