Default Badass 8 second DR car.....
Badass 8 second DR car.....I went to a local "Street Car Shootout" type of race this past weekend. The fact that it ran an 8.55 on drag radials is icing on the cake, the pics do not do this car justice, it was as clean as any showcar I've ever seen, incredibly well detailed.

When they have fast cars there it hooks. But otherwise it sucks.

Hey Shawn, was the tow rig a white Ford dually with american flag graphics? There is an 8sec Camaro that looks a lot like that in my town. Come to think of it I think the one I am thinking of has white stripes.
