Keep in mind you are on the Latera-
G forum and the G is for handling. So guys here are looking for somethig that handles and runs the dragstrip.
It would really take some serious talent and ingenuity to do 8 second ET's, handling to compete with the best PT cars, 200 mile Maxton and total streetability.
The Trans Am was brought up, but as mentioned that car never really did road coarse or autocross that we know of. At least not that any of use seen. Seemed like more of a sledge hammer with 18s on it to me.
Vinny is king right now as I have seen that car kick ass on the autocross, WIN the autocross, and be the fastest car at the dragstrip to. I suspect if he lowers that dragstrip number to 9.60 as Jake is predicting (and i agree), I think someone better do some serious planning to knock that off.
All I know is you guys are making me want to knock the dust of my street drag car, that's for sure!
