I figured with all the Texas Mile threads we'd join in on the fun. This is a street car and its NOT going to the MILE!


This is a project we just finished and its only been dynoed and a few WOT runs on the street.

Remember you only have 1 mile....not 5.

The Texas Mile is just like the drag strip, it breaks a LOT of hearts....egos get shattered as do wallets....




But that is a bad *** looking car...

Aerodynamics, weight, power, gearing, tune, timing, weather, and wind all play major roles in the texas mile...and that's just to list a few
