Rob Goss kicking a** at MIR

To be the only car in the field over 200 mph is still impressive by any standard.

4.46 in the eighth.Nice turn around from testing 2 weeks ago.

Rob is flying. That one must have the polished blower option too. I hope the new block design holds up for him.

2 81 Starlets in the field. My parents had a fleet of those back in the day, we used them to throw paper routes. Fun little cracker boxes..

Go gittum Rob!

Yay GOSSSSSS!

One motivated Mopar sitting in the top spot....

Cant be impressed because its Not a stock OEM block. Now that would be impressive. He stated the stock blocks were breaking in half. He made his Own solid blocks. They are for sale now as well.

Its a challenger, but its not a challenger motor.

But, glad he picked a new model challenger to race, and his accomplishments with it. Impressed with That

Thats just BAD A$$.

Gen III Hemi is as capable as anything else out there with pushrods. He is the ONLY Mopar there period. He was running in the 4.40's with a filled 6.1 block, it lasted 12 passes at that power level.

Ray Litz at #5 is my long time friend from back at High School in the 70's,Weare still good friend today.

No Mike Z is there with his twin turbo(gen 2 hemi) 70 cuda and hurt motor. But he replaced a piston and set his personal best mph with a 228 blast!

You can bolt stock heads on the block if you wanted too. So it is the same dimensions as a factory block. He makes water blocks also. Find me one mopar race car that goes 200+ with a production block!

Not sure if this is sarcasm or if you're serious? If you're serious I'm not really sure what to say. So any aftermarket block in a Mopar (even though it's based on Mopar architecture) is dismissed? You do realize he's making north of 2000 hp right? BTW, as pointed out earlier he was running 4.4's with a stock block but breaking them (as any stock block would, unless you can show me some stock block 440's running that fast and surviving?)

I was thinking the same thing. That dude has to be joking. There isn't a car on the planet that runs stock anything at that ET/mph.

So educate me on this one.
Is he going fast because of the G3 design as in good parts or is it more like top fuel where most can make the power but few can lay it down?
Would he be able to accomplish this with a CHEVY Based Engine
I'm Asking cuz I have NO clue.
I love the fact that its basically a G3 design.

Amen!!!!!

In the class he is running you do what is allowed and he is doing an excellent job. Best of luck to him and bring home the win
