I thought you guys would get a smile out of this, like I did.

It's clear that I am doing something wrong! With the parts I have, I should be running 8's.

"All motor and rearend" lol. Good thing he has shorties, a "possey" rearend, and a 7 second legal 4 point cage. What a joke. I wanna smack that guy.. "Motor has been rebuilt 4 times by me." I don't think that helps the sale either..

You better get with the program John! HA, what a bunch of bs. It runs 9.8 with a 3.8 0-60 time? I think not. My car runs 3.5 and only turns 12.teens. I guess we are ALL doing something wrong. Must be the corvette fans, eh?

Turned ok, just got cold as heck in the early afternoon. You would've been drooling over the Z06's, and one f-body.
Hope you get your car tuesday.

Since that guy is throwing out quarter mile experience like that I would ask to see a time slip before we even started negotiating price.

Man...I bet that NITRO takes him from a 9.8 to the 7's....yeah, maybe in the 1/8 mile...Nitro, Nitrous close enough... That special MILD King Cobra Clutch must hold like a train to keep that 1100 or so Horse power to go 7's....He must run like 275 miles per hour, to make up for that 3.8 second 0 to 60 time....What a toollllllllll

It lists Corvette fans as one of his mods. So I figured that was his secret weapon.

Those heads can't be made to flow enough to put him in the mid 11's and I doubt he's even close to that. I would bet it is a 12 second car.
