Everything about that ZR-1 is cool, but the pieces of duct tape must go.

I have to agree with you there ZF just a bit of effort and it would look so much better! We will pretend that it has been attended to b4 he lent it to the museum!

ALL BETTER NOW

Saw the car run at LACR years ago. Wow.
The rear window has something like "Nitrous, Turbos,Big Block"
with a circle and line through it.
The hard way.

Found some more Frank.
There are some great launches in them.
In addition to 1999 I added 2000.
I also have 2001, 2002, 2003.
I'll look for more Fastlane in them.
I also have videos if there is interest.

Wow.....now I finally can put the name FASTLANE with a person. Thanks Bryan and Scott! I used to see that 'handle' a lot when I was doing research over at CF.com back in 03 and 04 before I bought my 90.

The picture of that intake set up with the different I/H's and the injectors on the out side struck a cord with me. This past Gathering, or was it '11, I met a gentleman with a ZR-1 that had the same set up. Bill Krichoffer (sp? I proly butchered his last name, sorry!:o ) told me he got to thinking about our intake set up and he found a better way. I know I have pictures of his set up, I will look for them.

Anyway, thanks Bryan and Scott, for the history lesson.:handshak:

:cheers:
Tom

Here's the picture I was talking about. It was the '12 Gathering.

What was the displacement?

I can't remember the displacement but the compression was in the
high teens and he did not use the stock ECM.

[tf95ZR1]

Here on the net I saw an in-car-video of Fastlane
making a pass at Beech Bend at a BG GTG. AMAZING
how fast he runs through the gears, and the sound
is unbelievable. Someone have it?

[A1990]

I believe the engine was a 368 in the pictures where the plenum was looking like a regular LT5 plenum and the sheet metal intake engine was a 431

Ted, is this the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHuhnXVsyG0 ?

[tf95ZR1]

Thanks Dennis, yes that's it.
I'd love to see/hear your car,
the Atomic Z, run.

[Schrade]

Saw the vid a few weeks ago.

And the owner / driver comment:
This is a 1990 ZR1 original 5.7 LT5 engine 4 cam 32 valve NO supercharger. NO turbo NO nitros





So how DO you get 8 1/2 and 160, without any of the above???

Methanol? JATO pod?

Critical Mass fission reaction doesn't go from 1Krpm -> 8Krpm like that one in the vid. Sumpin' don't jibe here...

Never heard of using duct tape to cook 'rice'?

Geez! WHat kind of rear end is in that car? Solid axle or IRS? If he's got IRS, he must have huge spindles.

It's a nine inch Ford.

Not to quibble about it, but I've often wondered why Lane would make such a big point about, "no nitrous", "no automatic", and "no supercharger", when behind that LT-5 there is nothing made by Chevrolet in that drivetrain.
:confused:
Regardless it's a cool car, and he's a cool guy.

BTW, that's my video of the inside of the car at speed. The only existing inside shot of the car in action, that I know of.
It was at Bowling Green, in the late nineties I think. The end of the day, and no one left to run against Lane, but me. So I rolled the camera in his car, and jumped into mine to line up against the monster.
Somewhere there is an outside shot, from the stands, of that run. With a white 91' in the background as he leaves. As Letterman used to say, "A brush with greatness". :jawdrop:

[scottfab]

I like the idea of no steroids or other artificial power. Straight displacement and compression.

Its all about the motor. He ran a Motech. He taught Lingenfelter what could be done to a LT-5. A legend in his time. Like all of us old guys he just ran out of umphh.

That is a great vid -- one of my fav's == I watch it all the time for kicks!

Kudos to you for thinking to make it Bob.

I've always wanted to do this. Check my pulse before, during and after watching this. This time I did it. I set the vid to run on the big scree with big sound.
before clicking= 64,
during burn-out and just before launch = 90,
after shoot = 88
What a ride !
I'm pretty sure the neighbors hear it too ;)
