I'm sorry Bruce, I don't see it being advertised as proven, simply claiming it is capable of it. I'm pretty sure anyone who doesn't think it has the setup to go 8s is a fool, and I've stated when asked that I haven't taken it to the track. I'm certainly not trying to pull the wool over anyone's eyes.

Throw at least a couple bills on it and lets set a reasonable time frame.

Remember this hobby is just about who has the money to dump into their car to make it run a number. There's nothing special about it. Just like the money to get rid of a built all motor C5 and trade it in for a race ready C6Z.

Yea it blows, but I've driven the car three times since putting it together. Just a realization that the money can be better spent elsewhere than sitting in something I don't use.

It's the truth!

If it doesn't sell or trade for something reasonable it will continue to sit where it is and get driven twice a month.

I'm not broke and don't need the cash, just would rather have it sitting there than a car that is depreciating.

I asked you how much would you reasonably want to bet it wont run 8's and what kinda time frame? A week? How about a MONTH? December 17th! Track will be greatly prepped, great track so no excuses but YOU!!!!! I want to see the capabilities of this 8second car. All cars have 8second ability even a 86 Dodge shadow. So answer up sunshine we're all ears!! This is your moment to shine,15minutes of fame!
However the money has to come with a refund if the car doesnt run a pair of 8's

End of the year, 1 run in the 8s, $500 or better?

I'm not sure what's reasonable for you. I just got back from Vegas...Need to make some of my money back.

Wow $500.00 for 2 passes in the 8's and December 17th is the end of the year sunshine. Thats as close as you can get to the end of the year and run. May we ask what needs to be done to make it a 8second car by the end of the year? And you are willing to bet the $500 its going to run 2 8second passes on the same day under its own power and continue to run before and after? I will take this bet by the way. YUP I'm dead serious too!!! We're one post away from Donations and gambling of a 8second 351carlo car as she sits turn key with potential of 8's.

I said 1 pass, end of the year. What needs to be done is a private rental and seat time.

I'm not sure why you're so interested in my car. Glad I can keep you occupied thinking about something.

Private rental on a workday. The whole reason I'm looking to get out of racing is my demands at work have increased to the point that I can't get out.

I'd tentatively like to go on the 17th.

So you think 30days a month notice is enough or no? You said by the end of the year? I didnt hear of any other rentals later than that????? Remeber all you have to do is bring your turn key 8second potential mustang to the track run 2 8second passes and you got yourself $500!!!!! CASHMOLES! If she dont I get $500 and we get to make fun of you.... well more than usual for a while.
How much seat time do you need for a automatic turbo car? Turn boost up, do burnout with sticky tires on, Hit gas at tree click, click you're done in 8.99999 seconds or less!!!! Seems simple enough with a car with so much potential

So lets make a deal 2 passes so its backed up ofcourse. You can run race gas, take as many passes as you want on the rental day as you need. Lets get some motivation here sunshine!!! We want to see a stanger go fast!!!! Especially yours! Last I seen it ran a high 10second pass with a bad driver mod and what was it 650-700rwhp?

You should feel special with all the attention we're giving your stanger on here!
