Here's a grab from that site...
One of the most popular and widely recognized drivers on the circuit, Gardella also set both ends of the national record in October at Englishtown, N.J. establishing the e.t. mark at 7.159 seconds and the top speed record at 202.79 mph. Because of long established rules on how national records are set, Gardella's Red Bull Chevy Cobalt actually went quicker and faster than his record setting marks posting a 7.156 elapsed time at Indianapolis and a 209.59 mph top speed at Dallas.

Still... love to know the quickest H car, too!!! Chevy probably has more interest in pouring money in right now!
Impressive car though! Nearly as quick as, and faster in mph than all aussie rwd rotors! Only a second off the 3000hp doorslammers I saw last sunday too!
