I shook Rangers hand at Carlisle a couple of years ago. He is the nicest bloke - very unassuming.

I am not questioning the validity of his runs but I am still having trouble with the concept of a factory stock car running 129mph ;28:grr:22

I hear you. He had the same problem (people not believing his car was stock) when he was the first to do an 11.5 in a stock C5 Z06. I understand at one stage he borrowed a stock C5 Z06 from someone at the track and did a high 11s in that!

Ranger has lots of 1/4 mile runs under his belt. As he stated, this was his 53rd pass in his C6 Z06. Even though Ranger's Z had DR's on board, it just proves how fast the new Z realy is.
I wish I had one myself. Hey Santa.........
