I am seeing a lot of people saying there cars are 7's

. IMO this means your car hangs the tires when it leaves the line yet can still be a street car. I do see some sigs that have pics and some are believable but...

Anyways I would say my car is a 5-6 but leaning more towards the 6 catagory

3rd gen LT1 swap
383ci
Callies crank
Compstar rods
Mahle pistons
TEA Trickflow heads
Edelbrock LT4 intake
Stainless works LT
4" mufflex exhaust
250 shot of happy gas
12 bolt Moser
full tubular suspension parts
corbeau seats
14"/6 piston willwoods
Boze "speedster" wheels
Full body restoration

I've already got travel limiters because I know it's going to try to go up too bad on the street. Hell my fbodies would go wheels up on the street, this now stupid light car is going to be even worse with more tire, 1200lbs less, and the same power level eventually.

I just went through again and noticed there were not as many 7's as I originally thought.

Well as we go currently, I chose stock...the car is with 89950 miles.....

But....

As my little girls grow, so will the car, especially with dart coming out with this new block the possibilities are endless. I've settled on a 427, probably forged rotator, and some big heads and a rowdy cam. But by that time it "may" not be a DD, but I plan on building it as if it is. All motor, and nothing but the best parts for reliability and durability. Unlike most though my DD only needs to go 9/10 of a mile one way to work. So I can get away with a 9 sec. car and not worry about it.....

BTW it's only 1.2 miles to Speed Inc. from my garage.....
