They laughed at me when I first brought it up.
I had to bump up my own tire psi. and one ring on the coil overs to compensate.

Heck, they laughed at this car when I first told them it would run seven's.
I honest believe he can get close to six and that's saying a lot for non-tube frame car running a 10.5" tire.

Trully amazing work Paul, especially just for hitting the track a few times. That car is going push out the hole so hard, when you keep the nose at about 15 degree's it's not even funny. 200 trap's.

Regards

thats awesome. I remember when sts first came out..and everyone said it was a good idea, but not for drag racing..it would never run fast. I wonder if 7s is fast enough for them?

Thanks for all the props Guys

The car took me for a real suprise on that weel stand I have been battling to get the stagging down and I finally got it. Didn't need the bars until then. We tightened up the front a bit and the car layed right back down but I think I will keep running the bars for a while. The Headlight cover blew off a hit the windsheild on the 7.96 pass. I really didn't get a real clean run yesterday I feel the car will go a low 7.8 to a high 7.7 with the current tune and great track prep. Once we get all the bugs out we will turn her up a bit and hope to see 7.5 at best but who knows this has been one hell of an experiment.

The car has a 12 bolt with a torque arm and a power glide up front stock chassis and front end

Thanks again
