down the track

 

leaves like a baby, but still a good ET without a doubt.

 

I was amazed with the time to launch ratio.

 

Video is getting old. This is a stock suspension Camaro with a 509" BBC, Conventional Brodix BB2 heads, PG transmission. F3 Procharger using a cog belt drive system pushing 26 PSI of boost blowing through a CSU Dominator carb.

You can see more pictures of Will's car here

dr car.
although id say its soft for a dr car too.

 

jealous lol

 

Wish I had his kind of money. That F3 system is worth more than my entire engine. Wouldn't be surprised it that car is worth more than $100,000. Speed is a matter of money. How fast do you want to go?

 

Wow, i would be impressed if i had 10K in my car, period.

 

i remember when i ONLY had 10k in the car.

 

Right now it is 2500$, i might be at 8-9K in the near future.

 

yeah, but you won't be getting anywhere close to a 191mph trap speed. shoot, if you go much faster than 115, you'll be doing good. that 191 is only 15mph off of a prostock car (which i saw were trapping in the 206 range last weekend)

 

I think most of my vehichles stay well under 20 seconds at least... I'm jealous.

 

wish i only had that much in my engine

unless you have serious connections, your going to have $20-30K minimum in a car to compete and win in a serious bracket competition unless the competition is retarded, but anymore your looking at a minimum of $40-50K to be a player even at our level.

 

Nope, i will still be street driven with the 408. The 496 to come after that will be up in the 7500$ area with the engine alone. Not allot really compaired to others but it will be hard to find a car on the street to give me a run. I am looking to destroy supras and what not. Gonna be fun though.

 

I hear ya

..passed that dollar figure too long ago...

 

That's a pretty bold statement. All you have to do is look around. Lots of FAST cars out there. But you only have to satisfy yourself. It's all in the setup, and MONEY

 

Pft...Im in Houston, you have no idea what is out here, the cars in the area are sick but there isnt that many on the street every day that go 9s. There is the fact that there is somone allways faster, but running across another 9 second car is going to be rare.

 

Funny you mention Houston & 9 sec cars.. I'm sure you've heard of SAM right? (School of Automotive Machinists) They build some wild schit there. Check 'em out @ samracing.com They were also in Hot Rod of Car Craft recently in that LSX shootout comp...

 

Hell, this is the location of LMR. WHat else you wanna see other than ARD in the 9 second street IROC? That is awesome, but it goes 9s at over 4000lbs, that is simply sick. But it is not on 93 octane.

 

how do these people build such heavy cars? put a load of bricks in the trunk?

 

heck, mines 3720lbs with my in it going down the track...i dont care what it weighs sitting by itself, i wanna know whaat it weighs race ready since that's the important number. but that's with an interior, 100lb sub box, amps, etc....

 

4,000lbs is heavy for a 3rd gen, even with a big boy drivin'. just curius, how much do you weigh? lol

 

if i finished my cage that would add another 80lbs or so roughly so that puts me at 3800lbs, with a small block...but these dart lil m blocks alonw weigh as much as a standard assembled complete shortblock. If that other guy is running 9's, it's safe to assume it's a pig block so there's some additional wieght, if it's an aftermarket block, it's alot more weight...kind of why some guys send their aftermarket blocks out to have them lightened up...but at $1500 i'll keep the extra weight, that's why i bracket race..cant afford to go fast LOL!!!

 

jeez, i spent 10k before i ever drove my car.. and theres been alot of upgrades since..

new paint, redid interior, rims and tires, windshield, back glass, suspension, new motor, bellhousing, flywheel, clutch, guages, etc..
