Default Let's play, "GUESS WHAT IT RUNS"

Ok fellas, i'm bored so i'm gonna start a lil game. Goes like this, A pic is posted and we have to guess what the car runs. The picture must be full race trim, no pics of a car w/o slicks, chute, cage, etc. to make it look slower. Also must be able to prove how fast it is, or have a general idea of set-up and why/how it goes that speed.

Here goes:

Lol.... Ran high 11's back in the day. Guy took all the goodies out though, now has a single barrel carb for some reason..
It still feels fast, doesn't take much to break the tires loose, but it doesn't have brakes, so I am scared to try anything crazy.. It still has upgraded headers and exaust, but it's rusted to ****.. Why would you not coat the exhaust with something?

Nothing amazing, but good for what it is..

Idk if I believe him though.. Showed me pics of him with slicks on it at the track doing nice burnouts, so I am not sure.
