There are only 2 complete 1/4mile passes on this car as shown above. No more no less. There's more in it as you can see from the lack of traction on the launch.

Runs 10.60's at 130mph at 27 psi of boost on old Hoosier DOT tires. Will easily do better on ET with slicks. Probably 10.20's.

It runs 10.60's at 130 with 26 to 27lbs of boost on a specially built 200R4 with a trans brake from Len's Transmission of Las Vegas.

With real slicks and that MPH, it "should" do 10.20's. If you turn the boost up to 34 psi it may dip into the 9's. But I don't want to push this stock block that far.

It has a crap load of mods as you can see above. I'm asking $17,000.00. The trans is fresh and withstands the torque and weight of the car. The trans will not destroy itself the day you buy it.

But, there are paint chips, scratches and roof that's crumpled due to the previous owner not checking if the hood pins were left on the car.
The driver's seat is ripped, but the rest of the interior is decent and there are no rips in any of the passenger seats. The climate control has been disconnected but the power door locks and windows work perfectly.


When you think of all the "new" cars you could buy, I think this has more attitude than your typical Mitsu EVO. Which cost $29,000.00 to $33,000.00 and can only muster mid to low 13's with the right driver.
