I know there is gotta be some stuff im missing but thats close to everything. the car has never been to a drag strip but i have made 7 pulls on the dyno at ryans performance machines (garner nc). it put down a best of 222rwhp and 281 ft/tq with a deal stright afr of 13:1 on the pull. i know the car has some more in it its just gotta find it. it runs and drives excellent. i drove it from nc to ny this past aug and it ran flawlessly the entire way, again never ran it at the track but its gotta be good for high 13's in the 1/4 in its current condition. its just a great looking fun to drive car. now for the bad. it does need a new headliner and it needs to have a inner door grab handle put on the driver side door im looking to get $7000 obo for it, its time to move to a new project
