Still has a good amount left in it, just need some more seat time to get the launch down and creep up on the tune up.

Nitrous car? Crazy seeing that sound come out of a caddi. Sounds like alot to be had on the 60ft. Who would have thought 20yrs ago a caddi would be a force to be reconded with on the drag strip. Killer car, LMR.

Yes this was a nitrous pass. went a 10.47 on blower. 60 foot could definitely use some work, but for first trip out with this car we are happy.

What year coupe is that? Stock tranny ? These things are the most impressive car on the street. When the owner gets tired of it, maybe I will be ready to own it

Very nice, guys. As y'all mentioned, definitely some ET left in there since the 60ft does look a little lazy. Car looks sick.

Coolest thing about the car is you don't see the driver having to keep the car in the groove. Extremely stable ride which adds to the fun factor IMO.
