There's some American powered vehicles running a tad better than 7.80's.

Please refrain from posting a pic that only .05% of the people on this board can afford. That is not an LS1 based motor, nor can you find it in any "AMERICAN" based vechicle.
Show me an LS1 that has run 6.5's at 217+. But I can show you a 2JZ that has! Matter of fact more than one. Anything "AMERICAN" be it an LS1, 350, etc... has done, an import has forshawdoed it. Hell the fastest N/A front wheel drive car, is faster than 98% of you on this board. I typically dont like front wheel drive cars, but you have to respect what has been accomplished. What have V8's done in the last 50 years, that 4's and 6's haven't done in 10 years! You all feed off of our accomplishments. We drive you all to become faster. You might hate to admitt it, but you know its true.
Whats up Duy, my 350z should be done from Tommy here pretty shortly, hopefully within the next month and a half if everythings goes ok. We need to set something up with the deuce, maybe some friendly highway races.

Were you crying when you made that post?
I hate to break it to you, but most people on this board couldn't afford a 7 second Supra either.
Please don't start the "affordable" racing argument. That's just gay.

Which still isnt faster than the fastest import. Plus thats a mustang not an ls1. Kind of funny how there are two power adders and two more cylinders, but still running slower.
People talk about displacemtent and the amount of cylinders, but still arent showing me anything worth admireing!

What about low 5's. BobNorwood ran low 5's in his 4cyl. Do you remember when people said there will never be an import in the 12's? I do! How about 11's. Yep! 10's, hell time flies. 9's, **** thats almost 6-7 years ago. 8's, damn. 7's, hell no. 6's GOD DAMN! Is it possible for a 4 or 6 cyl to go 4's, READ ABOVE!

why do you insist on saying it breaks alot?? that car is one of the most reliable racecar out there..yes the axles or rear end break once in awhile..everyone breaks when they're running that fast..I have yet to see his motor blow up...
I have seen his car run so much more than i have seen stephen car run!!!!

btw..here a video of my little nissan with big *** tires running down the track...
once i get better axles and hopefully the rear end wont break, this car will be deep into the 8s...then its time for a bigger turbo..it just has a baby turbo now so we can basline the car and see what breaks..
