In Il. she ran 8.60 @ 160 on a good track since then about 200# was removed from the car. In Hawaii on a unpreped track with potholes the most boost she could hold was 16 psi with a time of 9.4's at 143.

I forgot to mention that the price is NOT negotiable. I would have a hard enough time letting it go, if I sold it for any less I would be sick to my stomach. The reason I'm selling, our run down track in hawaii closed and it looks like it might be some time before another gets built. Thanks!

Thanks Bro! Maybe I should keep the car and move up there, sounds like you're doing good for yourself.

DUDE,

That thing is sick and looks perfect.
Do you have any full sized pictures?
I will ask around and see if there is any interest locally.

Best regards,

Thats always an option. Racing is in the blood and its hard to let go of. Couldn't do it myself, hence the move. Besides that, its a lot cheaper to live up here. WAY CHEAPER!!! Means more money left over for the toys, lol.

Oh yeah, bump for a nice car and it is in PERFECT condition! Always well taken care of.

Thanks for the kind words

I hear ya, Hawaii's cost of living is crazy, 87 octane is still above $3 a gallon at some stations.

Hi John, Thanks for the complements. I met your boy Chris at the SSCN in Vegas last year, cool guy and haul'in ass car.
It would be too much work to put the stock suspension back in. I have some old photos but i'll post some current ones when I get off shift.
