Default Saw a bad *** Monte Today.

It was none other than SupercatXR7. Nice, clean looking Monte ripping of 11 sec time slips with ease.

Nice meeting you today, thanks for letting me barrow the wrench. You have one bad *** car.

Nice meeting you too. Nice Trailblazer SS! Did you hit your 12?

Best I could muster today was a 11.36 @125.6 MPH and a 1.91 60 foot. Couldn't get off the line or build boost at the line due to not having my cable ties for the rear struts to keep the front of the car from lifting when the rear squatted on take off. Couple of runs were on the verge of 127 mph! Looking at my old 11.49 run, it was at 117 mph with a 1.78 60 foot. With the MPH I'm running now, 10's are coming soon......

Supercat, is this only a drag car for you, or do you street drive it? What kind of reactions do you get from f-body and mustang owners?
It is too cool!

It drives like it has nothing done to it, that is until you push the throttle and open the down pipe. It is full weight, actually a little more with the turbo kit. I don't pull the seats or anything like that. Looks stock besides the lowering kit and a couple of gauges in the dash. It's a sleeper, no one expects it. Only has around 16000 miles on it....

I'd imagine if he drives it properly, A LOT better. I have an acquaintance with a twin turbo Vette that got 30-31 mpg going 75-80 from Shreveport to Dallas.

I have 3" out, no cat, going to zzp y pipe and magnaflow mufflers. I would estimate power still drops around 50 to 70 hp on my set up through the mufflers on the street. Car needs to breathe....cutout allows that.
