if it doesnt do anything then why does he have it? its obviously there for a reason...

your car isnt fast? you have a cammed WS6 with a fast 90/90 setup... shouldnt you be close to 400 to the wheels? sounds fast to me, otherwise that was a lot of money wasted to be slow. And yeah you probably could see matts car at straightline, I usually do, but dont worry, it only LOOKS like a race car.

I'm sure if you drove a top-fuel dragster then a 8-second car would probably feel slow to you too, and I bet if you drove a SR-71 Blackbird then the top-fuel dragster would feel like a go-cart. Speed is all relative. 11's is fast any way you look at it. But like you said, there will always be something faster. Unless you drive a space shuttle at 17,000 mph. I don't know anything faster than that which is driveable

I think Matt D and 99DWPTA would be a real good race even though I know nothing about Matts car other then some big tires in the back and some weight reduction I think it would be a good race. Even if its just for fun its basicly power vs weight which is always fun to watch.
99DWPTA looks like you have a real nice car. What kind of tire are you running out back?
looks like a nice car

Yep, they are having events every Sunday night with no clocks. $12 to get in, no fee to race. 3pm to 10pm.

It is slower than it looks, I promise

How fast can a non gutted, bolton LS1 on a 8.5" slick be?

Yeah I was just wondering about the tires since I will have a similar set up minus the fast 90/90 over the winter with a small shot of juice. Yeah the rearend can be very costly Ive got a Mt et street in the back and myne still spins a little out of the hole on the footbrake but when it does hook I get scared of my trans more then the rearend. Sounds like you have a nice car there. Take it easy on that 10 bolt a 12bolt will cost some bucks
Nice car by the way

Also refering to Matt Ds car 11s could mean 11.99999 at like 108 maybe he could spot you out a car or so. I think it would be a good race even heads up but ya better get a tire jk
go from a roll
see how that goes

Your car, with your mods is easily a low 11 second car if you can hook. Mid to high 11s with a trap speed around 118-120 if you spin and are full weight. My cam only '00 Camaro ran the 10.85 @ 126 in my signature on 17" rims with MT DRs out back, in +1500 DA, at a 3275lb raceweight. I hold drag racing lessons twice a month. Let me know if you're interested.

Oh, and yes my '99 is slow and only in the 11s, but I plan on shattering the stock internal record at the beginning of next year. I am not too far off...

You guys could also swap rear tires and spot matt out 4 and the hit. Now thats another good race. Also 99DWPTA has ram air so thats worth atleast another 1/2 car on matts part I dont know about you guys but I see a heads up match here
Id like to see that
sounds totally fair
good match up

Even better, would be for me to give him the hit for the tire, but no spots considering I only make 333hp and he has at least 75hp on me.
