Anyone know where the 1991 Mallet GTP ZR1 is that was modified for the One Lap of America Race . It was a 396 supercharged, custom carbon fiber hood with air intake. made 900 hp on pump gas and 1440 on race fuel estimated top speed of 265 mph.

wooow , man you made my day!!!
before days, i thought about name of this guy who made supercharged for zr1 , that was before 17 years,when i called the guys there and talked with Mallet himself personely, cuz i had Corvette fever magazine at that time (mallet zr1 project was there),and i was very interesting in his projet!!
in corvetteforum, i post thread about supercharging ZR-1, thats why i was thinking about who made it before,but i havent chance to look and search really!! i have lots of work these days...
guys, my memory ,i become old man. sorry LOL
still i have 12 magazines from corvette fever ,and will scan pictures and post it here before CF !

the top speed isnt true!!
btw: all front brakets and pullys were custom made.
i remember there was only some pictures with incomplete engine but supercharger fixed there!!
then ,i dont know what happend with the car..i think he went in 24 h race, but Very very few who intersted in this project. what a shame!!! jmho
the man was looking for sponsor, but i dono if he had some..

Hadi, what facts do you base the statement that top speed isnt true on?
