Back then we weren't real concerned about gas mileage, beaching, t-topping, interstate motoring at 75mph. and no Arguing over "street car" "race car" bs like today. Back then, we would/could run stop light to stop light all thru town all night long and sometimes for as much as 1K a run. Old School FTW
Ask my friend 1racerdude, he'll tell ya.

And i bet he'll tell ya when a race was set up, no one even asked to see under the hood. Just line them up and hope for the best. I still have two of my old cars. I think one might still be able to muster up a 10.50 or two.

Well i guess you guys all need to come to woodward ave in detroit for some old fashion stop light racing every fri and saturday night. All the older hard core guys come out with all kinds of muscle cars and some mean tuners and they just do 0-80 mph races down woodward. Fun times all summer long. My favorite was watching a 95 drop top t/a pull a 3ft wheelie past a 10 sec supra. http://detroit.craigslist.org/mcb/ctd/1346806374.html heres the supra in case anybody is interested he wants 29000 for it lol

As long as its all motor and a street truck, no problem.
And I got a little NEWS flash for ya, Believe about 5%(or less) of what racerdude tells ya. He NEVER has had a fast car, He has NEVER built his own car. The fastest car he built the engine in ran 10.90(Bucks Rocket RACECAR). DOnt let him fool ya, he is all hot air.
If it was up to him my car would STILL be on jackstands.

I honestly don't think anyone is even slightly worried about a quick LT1. As the previous owner of several LT-based cars I give lots of respect, but I seriously doubt LSX guys are beating their chest, let alone even paying attention to what you guys are doing. I'd be more concerned about a car like Tony Shepard's, a car that could give a lot of LSX's around my parts a good run! 10.5's @ 125 wouldn't get you too far down here. 
My production-stock car trapped 5mph faster than that off the showroom and it doesn't even feel too fast to me anymore. I need more! LOL

So you got all motor cars running 9's? Thats pretty rare I must say.

Why is FFB like, a full second slower than Abare?
All motor: check
Both pump gas: check
Heads: check
Weight: close, abare prob heavier
Both SR: check
Hmmm.....
LOL I'm just busting your ***** Dave. I have a lot of respect for your car and its accompishments. A hell of a lot faster than I'll be for a while.
Just though hell, lets go for another 10 pages

LMAO, I get a kick out of all this, really I do.
So skip, you gotta SPRAY to run 10.50? Or do you have a 4 cyl going that quick.
As far as a $100,000 LS9 trapping 5 more MPH than me...that gives me a warm fuzzy. What did it ET 11.40?
