Default Daily Driver at the track!

I finally got back in an F-Body after selling the ol' pewter one. Did some updating to it as far as appearance and just put a brand new transmission (4L60E) and converter in it as well as having it tune by BTR2, Todd is an awesome guy by the way!

Anyway, the car is a lower mileage (64,xxx) red 1999 SS T-Top car. It's full weight besides the spare tire and jack. It has some extra audio equipment as well. With me in the car and on 17" Torque Thrust II's the car weighed exactly 3,600lbs.

The motor was built around 10 years ago and is a 382CI (using an old Lunati kit) from what I was told. Ported 806 heads, unknown cam (doesn't sound very big), Crane gold 1.8 rockers, LS6 intake.

Circle D 4C converter too

At the full weight, 17"s in the front, 16" firebird wheels with old worn QTP's and stock suspension, I think the car did well!

60ft-1.505
330ft- 4.557
1/8th- 7.165
MPH- 93.47

Thanks! I honestly thought it would only run in the 7.30s at this weight. The dyno sheets I got with the car shows 402rwhp/402rwtq. I couldn't believe the 60ftI Circle D has done it again though! I'm curious to see what it would run on a drag setup and a ramair!

It's even got the old style SLP long tubes and catted Y Pipe. If it ran close to the 7.0 range at almost full weight and all motor I'd be tickled! Hell I'm already surprised it went 7.16.
