Performance:
Best ¼ mile pass is 10.52 @ 129. I have run mid tens several times even in 95+ degree midwest weather. The car dyno’d 488rwhp and 472rwtq. 91-93 octane gas is all I have ever used.
A little about the car:
I have competed at Hot Rod Drag Week 3 times with this car and never had a single issue with anything. It was featured on the cover and in an article in the January 2012 issue of Hot Rod Magazine. I had it tuned locally and it drives great on the street considering the manual steering, spool, and faceplated trans. The engine has less than 2000 miles on it and less than 30 passes. I’ve put way less than 10,000 miles on the car since purchasing it in February 2009. It has always been garage kept and well taken care of. It is a stripper model and came with manual locks and windows and hatch, no cruise control, and no rear defroster.
I'd like to get $18,000 for it. Located in Blue Springs, Mo NO TRADES
Performance:
Best ¼ mile pass is 10.52 @ 129. There is more in the car as this was with limited traction on ET streets. I have run mid tens several times even in 95+ degree Midwest weather. The car dyno’d 488rwhp and 472rwtq. 91-93 octane gas is all I have ever used.
2 videos from the 2013 drag week. Skip to 2:46:10 for my first ever 10 sec. pass in the car @ 10.69, and also to 3:52:07 for a pass that I lifted on. I was running in a class that you could only go as quick as 10.80. This was on a 95 degree day in St. Louis.

On the drivers side I modified their bracket because the seat sat up too high. The passenger side is completely custom. Kind of a pain in the *** really but they are very comfortable. I'm 6'2" so someone shorter might be able to just use their brackets.
