I'm looking at those pictures and almost all of those GM's that are in the pics look like lightly modded street cars. Am I correct with that cause I didn't see even a rollbar or rollcage in ANY of those cars import or otherwise.... How fast are we talking timeslip wise to be with FAST GM's????
Are these single digit cars is basically what I'm asking..... If so PLEASE PM me or post here so I can bring my car out for some late night competition.... I've got a few things I need to finish up with my camaro but it's coming along and early testing has found 870 hp at the wheels.... Is there going to be anything out there worth running????

no timeslips yet for the fast ones from the crew.. our cars are either barely been finished or getting build.. you say that you were at 870rwhp right the direct port meaning that on motor your around 500rwhp. hhmm yeah I think we should be able to give you a fair run on motor with n2o its different.. you should consider coming down to see what we have...
yeah we've done some early motor runs with the DFI less than optimized to get us some baseline #'s and they were in the 520-540 area depending on what timing advance we were running.
I'm expecting at a 3100-3200lb raceweight that 10.40's to 10.60's all motor is not out of the question..... So you guys have some legitimate 10 second all motor cars out there????? If so I've been in the garage too long....
I used to go the races out in San mateo and some fast cars would show up but mostly it was guys running thier mouths with no proof as to what they ran.... And after SEEING them run and the way their cars were setup anyone that knows better would know that they were 12 second cars talking about timeslips they wish they had.... Which is why I ask cause driving all the way out to the bay area to sit at Chevron and BS can be expensive and a waste.... But all power to ya if you guys are running 10 second cars..... Anything down there I can run the bottle against???? Someone said those Supra's said they were 9 second cars??? Any truth to that?

I usually set my races up to run at the track anywayz.... Running an 8-9 second car on the street is usually a quick way to die or get your **** towed away....
I'll spectate to see if something out there is worth it.... A guy in a Supra SAYING he runs 9's is different than actually doing it.... And when you see a 9 second supra run on the street there is no denying how fast it is....
I've seen Supra guys say they run 9's yet they show up to the races on street tires and don't even start moving until they hit third gear..... Supra's are notorious for monster dyno numbers and not doing **** at the track.... I can't count how many 800RWHP Supra's I've seen running 11's.... Don't get me wrong. I think Supra's are kickass cars but they are one of those cars where RWHP does not equate to track prowess....

Sounds like you have a monster there! PM me. There are certainly cars for you to run.

About the white supra, I know a guy who's boy owns the surpa. If you're really interested , I can ask him what hes running. If hes also down, maybe I can get him to set up a run or something.
I havnt seen the oakland runs in a while. Last I heard it was getting fucken stupid, foos going out there and jacking your car while you're watching the races. I dont nkow. I went a few times up there to the track called Port. A lot of guys showed up, and it was pretty good. But lately, its been dead I guess. maybe they'll bring it back up when the milpitas cops knock down the runs here...again. Haha
Hey AMustangsNightmare, does fastgms only include fast ls1s? Or would a notably fast v6 fit in. haha
