It's kind of an in between car. Not a real street car, but not a real race car either. :shock:

Call it whatever you want, it's your car. :D :D :D :D :D

It's still pretty fast. :lol:

Sounds like you got a good launch! If you drive it to the track its a street car,not so if you trailer it. Still running the same gear as the first post?

Good runs for sure, what rpm's are you turning with 4:56"s at the finish line? how tall are your tires? You should pick up a bit with fresh slicks.
I bet some v8 guys are surprised.
Good luck
Derek

Havent really looked at the tach tru the traps,,,will next thurs,tires are 26x8.5,quite a few mid 8,30s at 80 mph,with the 4.56s,,,Yes,the guy I beat in the new 6.1 Charger wasnt real happy,my run was with a passenger and I ran a 8.59 .003 lite,he ran a 8.88 with a .022 lite.I must have hooked better cause my 60 ft was 1.78,his was 2.15,Track gave me a warning for going too fast with a passenger....you cant go faster than 8,60 and i went 8,589 ,Guzzi Mark
