This car is a true 6 second car IMHO, meaning it runs mid 6's. I was talking to the original owner of the car and he pointed out several things that need to be kept in mind. The 6.70 passes were done with a tune that keeps the overall goal of drag week in mind. You have to make the whole trip and still be fast. This car has another couple tenths on full kill. Tom was going to go for it on the last day until he blew the door off. (Due to a crack caused by violent tire shake earlier in the week by the way) Also, the high 6 passes were traction issues not power. Look at the MPH, 217! He ran the same Hoosier DOT drag tires on the track and the drive. There were 10 second cars swapping from street rubber to race rubber at every stop. I can be as critical as the next guy, but I believe this is a true 6 second street legal car. Daily driver, NO! But, not much different than a full on Road Track Car being given the minimum requirements to register it for street duty and calling it Pro-Touring.

Whether you agree or not, I want a ride!
