That is a helluva sleeper, but you can't really blame the guys doing the guessing, mid-low 12's is about right for a cam-only 302 on a 175 shot, more is certainly possible but I am talking on average...If all I had to go by was what the driver said I would not think it would be much faster than that either.

So am I missing something here or does it seem like the owner flat out lied? Little different than "tricking the panel"...

And remember, I said an average driver, which means taking the badasses and the guy's who are at the track for the first time ever and lumping them into one group, seeing as how the panel has no idea how good of a driver the guy is or how well he knows how to set up his car...

Hell for all I know they make every driver on that show wear a fire jacket, I am just saying with the info (flat out lies) he told the panel, there was no way in hell they could have guessed anywhere near how fast the car is...That is ALL I am saying, from our perspective, no **** it's not a 12 second car just by looking at the engine shot, but THEY don't see that...

There are plenty of bolt on f-bodies with 175 shots and shitty drivers and/or street tires that have barely hit low 12's, does that mean that is the norm? No, but you never know. I mean hell,t he car is on pony wheels, not like it's sitting there on a set of draglites and skinny's
