Default Fastest Street Car in West Texas

Man, how big is this file? It just passed 40mb and there's no progress bar or nothing yet!!lol. I'll let you know how the vid is after it finishes .

Edit: Just finished watching it. Pretty cool video. It's not common at all to see a procharged big block cruising the streets. Well, where I'm from at least .

sorry, i meant to warn that it was over 60MB. the car is a 67 chevelle big block w/ a F3R Procharger. he's just recently gotten it running so hopefully we'll be able to talk him into entering some of these events. to put it in perspective, the 67 camaro he was racing at the end was a 67 camaro big block, blown and on alcohol that suposedly has 3000HP!

I was gonna say something about that because it looked like a mean car. It looked like he gave the chevelle a chance or something. Sweet chevelle though and post up some more vids of it on the street .

Thats all at my local tracks, i've seen the car run many times.. and cruise the streets..

Also, for those that don't know.. the DA's aren't great out here in West Texas.. his passes were just about all at over 4000 ft DA.. and its got alot more in it from what I hear.

Seeing the car in person, under the hood is like a work of art.. amazing fab work.

you might also keep in mind that the 5.56 pass was on a 2 month old 1/8th mile track. still very green and is being plagued w/ dirt on the track. the chevelle is also supposedly only running half boost of what it's capable of on those runs. next year should be very promising.

Theres a few "street cars" around where I am that could play with that. Video editing was great! The car is super sexy! I like how the fast guys are starting to fit everything under a 4 inch cowl or less!

Its a Lenco 4 speed, I believe the clutch is only used for staging and such.. during a pass its clutchless.. grab each individual gear and go..

Not 100% positive though.

Yeah, but it's awesome when you see a car that sounds as wicked as the chevelle with a 5 inch hood come up beside you.
