newbie here

Hello all just found this great site and decided to share how my car has went to date.
60 foot 1.663
1/8 7.75 88.91 mph
1/4 12.19 112.044

This is my daily driver. I have to drive 160 miles to get to the nearest track. I fold down the back seat put the slicks in and take off . I'm running a true dual exhaust with 2 1/2 pipes thru mufflers. I am going to put some cutouts after the headers and hope to break into the 11's. I am very satisfied so far with my project. I also get 20mpg thanks to the tremec tko tranny.

Welcome to Third Gen. You don't often see an 11 second daily driver that doesn't use a power adder. Good luck.

Finally 11's

Just got back from the track today and here are my results from saturday night racing

60 foot 1.656

1/8 mile 7.608 90.538 mph

1/4 mile 11.928 113.441 mph

It is all Throttle and no bottle.

After getting 8 runs in I put the street tires back on and capped the exhaust and drove 160 miles to get home.
