converting 1/8th to quarter your looking at around an 11 second car, somewhere between 10.9's and 11.3's depending on if it lays down in the top end due to the auto

Eh, I think it might be a little quicker. I have found the racer's rule of thumb 1/8 mile X 1.55 = 1/4 mile to be fairly reliable. So this car could run about a 10.77, and that is not counting on the fact that most turbo cars tend to run better on the big end than an NA car, even auto equipped ones if the gears are right.

Granted, I am talking in general and don't know this car, but I bet she is not leaving too hard due to the 10-bolt... so yeah, I bet it would really shine if run a full 1/4 pass.

If I get taking off the bench in the next couple weeks I will be contacting you, this is a steal of a deal. I am also surprised you still have it.

I wish I could buy your car. Hopefully in 4 months when I am done with school and working the car will still be forsale.

I'd forgotten about that until you mentioned it. Poor car!

Sort of. Honestly we have too many cars right now, the only thing I am consistently driving is my TBSS. My vette is almost finished, I may just list it for sale also as my formula hasn't sold, and then just keep whichever doesn't sell.

whats the loan value, really don't think people have 14,000 laying around. I'm getting a big tax check but i don't think i want to use all of it to cover what my credit union want cover.
