Keep it Drag? Or back to the street?

[Swisher Smirf]

Call it the car lotto but I just inherited my dream car. I'm torn. Do I get this baby on the strip? Or street? It has a Kenny Dutt twin turbo set up. Full cage tubed rear. In MD its done the 1/8 in 4.5 sec. I need all of your wisdom and knowledge. I pick it up next week and plan to just hang out in the garage for a few days getting acclimated.

Take it to the track,It's not built for the street,The Street will harm it....

Enjoy!

So there is no tuning this thing down?

It's not the tune, it's the suspension,cornering an pot holes will destort it over time.

go race and have a blast!

 

[Swisher Smirf]

Any idea what kind of turbos are on this thing? Sorry I'm a rookie. But my love for the Nash started in high school. I'm no poser lol

What's the fastest you have ever gone down the track?

 

[xtremexnyc]

That was built for the track. Keep it the way it is and have fun with it.

This car is gorgeous! I would not touch a thing on it. This is a strictly strip car. Can I ask why you would ask this question? Also what Pronto said, how fast have you ever gone down the track?

 

[Swisher Smirf]

Ummmm. Ha. Haven't gone down the track. I'm a rookie and I feel this car is way out my league. I can't sell it. So what's next?

 

[Swisher Smirf]

I come from a background in fast cars and bikes. But I've never been to the drags. Ive called all the shops in my area for advice. They all say balls to the wall!!!

A car capable of a 4.5 second 1/8 mile is not for a beginning racer !! That is a serious race car.

I'm here for advice. Sell it and get the street car I've always dreamed of? Can I pull the turbos way down and learn to race it?

 

[turbojosh]

You need to tell some of the pros on here all about this car bro for help?

 

[Phoneguy]

Personally, I would sell it. That is way more car than I need. The car is capable of high 6 to low 7 second 1/4 mile runs. Its your decision to make. Do you want a car that is a drag race specific car or are you looking for a car to drive on the street and take to the track? Good luck

I gave him my number to pick his brain! Maybe I can help him out! I would hate for him to really hurt himself in this thing!

Was good talking to you over the phone, will keep in touch. Anything to help out somone who has passion for these cars, and guys on here ! Any feed back on this car would help, but this car sat for four years, so some of you big guys out there would have to think back??

x2.

Also, I'm pretty sure you'll need a license to run that fast at the track. It would suck to not enjoy a car to its full potential because you got booted off the track.
