Subsequently, from December 6-14, 1992, another version of the Aerotech I, this time powered by a 4.0 litre Oldsmobile Aurora V8 engine and fitted with lights, broke 47 speed endurance records including the 10,000 and 25,000 kilometre world speed records. Other national and international speed records ranging from 10 kilometres to 24 hours were accomplished by a team of drivers working 24 hours a day for 8 days. These records were also set at the Fort Stockton test track. Larry Lysons, Oldsmobile’s chief engineer said breaking the 25,000 kilometer record is similar to running 31 consecutive Indy 500 races at approximately the same pace.

I think that we need Aerotech with headlghts for night races at SSR7, SSRX and hopefully it's alternative route. Also do you think that 1987 longtail needs an independant thread? Unless it's thread is general like BMW 8 Series one.

...It's weird to see an Olds speed-record car, 'cuz in my head those two don't mix. I mean, from the people who sold a Cutlass Supreme had a hand in going super-fast?

...I must be dreaming. :boggled:
