    Good guess, 1981.

    Wow, I don't think I want to go as fast as those guys. lmao

    Maybe I better just shut up for a while, see what it does as it is and then take it from there. Wild Bill suggested that too.

    All I want out of it is a steady 12.90... I'm too old for 10s.

    Edited: Sure, I say that now, but after one 12.90, I'm gonna want to go 12.50, then 12.00, then 11.90... I know how this story ends, roll cage, parachute... oh fug! :)

    Holy shiites! I just found this at your link Wharf:

    Bone stock minus the tune and tires/wheels. I am running all stock suspension, the stock 3.15 gear and using the stock CAI. Car has 915 miles on the OD.

    Best ET of the evening was:
    11.88

    Best MPH was:
    120.74

    Best 60' was:
    1.88
    This car in my garage has the potential to run 11:88 as it sits?

    WTF? LMFAO!

    Note the tune and the tires. Of all the shit we spend money on these cars a good tune goes a long way.

    No idea where that run was made either but I suspect some mineshaft air was involved in that 121 trap speed.
