WHEN THE MOTOR TREND GUYS TESTED OUR VENOM 1000 SRT-C, THEY TOOK THE AIR OPERATIONS OFFICER, CHRIS "FIDEL" CASTRO FOR A RIDE AT THE END OF THE 2 DAYS OF TESTING.
WE HAD JUST COMPLETED A 10.5 @ 153.5 MPH DRAG RADIAL 1/4 MILE PASS. THE MOTOR TREND TEST DRIVER COMES BACK AROUND AND ASKS "FIDEL" IF HE WANTS A "CHECK RIDE". SO THEY GO OUT AND PROCEDE TO BURRY THE SPEEDO TO SOME INSANE SPEED IN EXCESS OF 200 MPH.
WHEN THEY COME BACK, I TELL THE MT TEST DRIVER - 'HEY MAN, DID YOU KNOW THAT YOU JUST DID THAT ON A PAIR OF DRAG RADIALS RUNNING ABOUT 20 PSI OF TIRE PRESSURE?" HE SAYS SOMETHING TO THE EFFECT OF "CAR FELT FINE". ANYWAY, HERE IS THE VIDEO:

ANY DAY I CAN BUILD A CAR THAT IMPRESSES AN F18 PILOT WITH OVER 3000 HRS OF COMBAT FLYING - THEN THAT MAKES ME VERY HAPPY.
