Here are a few vids. Took the Vert to the track for a base line.....BUT the timing system was down so it was "pinks" racing Car is BONE stock here.
Have since done an exhaust and "free mods" to the car. Will take her to the track this weekend for some times..
BTW, vids show us running a pimp stang and a LT1 with cam and exhaust.
Killed the stang also be the LT1 but it was close...maybe 3-4 cars.

The bowtiestang has only been to the track once. The wife didnt get any video ???? was only run shake down runs since it is a fresh built car.
Right now the car has a "stock" 5.7 out of a 88 IROC. I dropped this motor in to do the fab work on the car...well a year later it is still in there
It isnt the greatest set up...stock engine+ Super victor type intake, 830dp carb, 4500 stall( with a cam that pulls to 4200 ) 4.10 gears.
Well it did run faster then I guessed it would...13.72@96mph with a 1.86 60' Run at a DA of 6400'. Thing runs so rich it back fires the entire 1/4 mile lol.
Well the "real" engine is...
355 SBC 12.5 comp 6" H-beam rods, AFR 210 heads, big comps mech roller. Car is 2800lbs with driver. Not street legal and was built as a cheap toy
