I notice your name isn't on that 1/4 mile list. How about you go take it to the track this weekend and get some actual times then if you want to compare how fast your car is to those N* cars?

My guess is you'll run high 13's and trap around 95 MPH, assuming you even know how to launch the car and drive it down a drag strip. If you're lucky. You'd probably actually be closer to mid 14's and 90 MPH. That'd put you 1.5 seconds behind Will's time, and 12 MPH under his trap speed.


I've trapped 112 with the new engine, but have wheel hop problems and haven't gotten a new best ET yet.

Me too... it has the trap speed for 11's. Already twisted the splines off my left CV joint cup going for a 1.7 sixty and 7 second 1/8 mile.
