I drive my 9 sec ride around almost everyday. But it is not a LS1 V8 just a little inline 4 cylinder.

Forgot to mention, it still gets 35-42 mpg.

Ive got one. Hopefully with the new setup ill get there with out the n2o. It should got 10.8X. If not the gas will be back on. And the car has been my daily driver since 98 and has had h/c n20 since 99. But now i have a vette so the camaro just sits at my parents house. It was real dependable.

Hey, I get to post in here these days.

I ran a 1.46 60', 10.86 at 125.5 at the CZ28.COM Nationals a few weeks ago. It was a good enough run to qualify for the quick 16 where I was promptly dispatched by a 9.xx Mustang on motor. The pass was a stock front wheel hanging run with the 100 NX shot and a SY3500 converter on 26x10 ET drags which I swap on at the track. It turned out that I actually had leak at one of the Nitrous Solenoids too. So, I'm still trying to figure some things out with the NX MAF kit to trim some more off before the skinnies and weight reduction.

Not too bad for a car weighing in at 3,850 lbs with over 15K miles on the MTI 422 since last spring. Now remember, when you say daily drivers guys, mine runs in the Michigan winters and has even seen -10 degrees this past winter and driven in a 6" snow storm. Nothing pisses off the guys at the tire store quite as much as having to push a 3,850 lbs car, on Nitto DRs, up a 3 inch incline to get the car in the shop to put KDWS tires on it in a late december snow storm.
