Weight doesn't have anything to do with it.
















It has EVERYTHING to do with it.

I'll let you know in the spring. It wouldn't be an accurate description of the car due to all the new mods. Put it this way, I could eat some taco bell while driving it to a mid 11.

i ran 12.2's last night with a horible 1.8 60' on 11.5 streets at 114 mph thats what happens with crappy track conditions. should have been 11.9x with a 1.6x 60'. you know the track conditions suck when you rip into 3rd any the rear breaks loose with et streets in a high 11's car.

I ran a 11.57 @ 117.8 with a 1.62 60 ft. I think you could run the same if not better.

Hey Rodney, You going to No problem Friday the 30th? Me and Ben(ou812/z28 ) are going . He is the one that was parked next to you at the Thunder shootout with the 94 LT1 z28 with the intake sticking out the hood.
