How many DRM600s were built?
Does anyone know how many DRM600s were built?
I recently purchased the DRM600 featured in the 1995 Road & Track "Fastest Cars in America", which was also in the 1996 Road & Track video below.* * http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ilz6ul5q4EE * then it is continued at: * http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbK2z6QdV-M Interesting history - despite the MPH reached on the track by driver Phil Hill, Doug Rippie and the original owner hit 196 to, and 198 from, the event on the West Texas highway. Approximately four years after the DRM600 build, the 385 was rebuilt by LPE and increased output toward 625hp. I've only seen reference to one other here on the forum. Mark |

Ha! I've been in lurker mode for a long time.... Since the Listserver days!
Was googling DRM600s and there's not much out there. I did find reference to the shoot out from Randy@DRM... This was the only car that was actually driven to the event in West Texas (reached 196 mph), and was a customer's car, "Not a house car built for the shoot out." Mark |

Hey Mark call Randy at DRM and see what they can tell you. You will be surprised what Doug can remember.

If Doug could tell me the cam specs on a car he built in 95 I'm betting he'll remember. Check under the car on the rear sway bar if DRM had multiple cars in the shop at once they would wright the owners name on the rear bar so it was easier to keep up with.

Thanks for the recommendations! I'll follow up with DRM this week. I have the original invoice from DRM (over $51K) and LPE (over $23K).
