Ron Cochran's record setting GVR4
article about this GVR4
CONGRATULATIONS TO VERNON AND THE CREW AT RAVER
MOTORSPORTS for
their 228 mph run at Bonneville Salt Flats.
With a new engine and some extra power the yellow GVR-4 went 228 mph on
the salt on August 10 2009.
They are using the same "high torque"
transmission for the past 3 years without failure
or any gear changes.
If we can build a transmission that can survive in this land speed
record holding car we certainly can build you.
CONGRATULATIONS
TO RON & VERNON AND THE CREW AT RAVER MOTORSPORTS
for their record breaking 216.598
mph run at El Mirage Dry Lake in August 2008. I'm sure we'll see that GVR-4 make a 220+ mph pass as soon as
they take it back to the salt. They are using our standard STAGE 2.5 "high
torque" transmission which is ideal for stroker engines. Just ask us for
details. 08/08

Galant VR-4 was driven

Hey Jon,
We made you proud! 216 mph
two-way average is the new G/PS record. Ronnie ordered a professional photo
for you of the car charging down the salt. As soon as it comes in we'll
forward it to you. The trans was flawless. We dyno'd 860 whp at 8600 rpm
and over 650 ft # torque with 48 psi from the GT42R, but our runs were down
150-200 whp since our ebc only got us 29 psi. That flying box has gone
faster than i ever thought possible AND there is obviously more potential
still in it.
With a little luck we'll
reset the El Mirage record in three weeks and get another 200+mph record.
Have a great weekend and
we'll talk to you soon,
Vernon of RaVer Motorsports
08/08
