I would hope not since it was a V6.

That said, half of OP's vids you cant even tell if they are racing or not. I guess Good kill if the 5th gen was actually racing.

11.5@120.xx no gutting only wr came from the mods and only rear tars/wheels on a hard *** dr. Pretty simple car. Idk why guys struggle to get those things to go. A standard ss would be faster than his 1le due to the steeper geared trans.

Really wasn't hooking that hard. Like a 1.76 60'. Lots left in it if one wanted to go after it. Da was likely decent but i forget exactly what it was.

Alot of times breaking **** is the end user. Some guys can tear up a rock.
