Just to get this straight for a certain person on this forum.
Are you shooting for 8's or 8.99's?
THANK YOU!
There's "EIGHTS" and then there is "IN TO THE EIGHTS"...
Frank.... killer build!
It would have saved you some time to start with one of those offshore bodies... ya think? Man - you just don't see cars like that around here... I guess the grass grows too tall.
When its a multi-purpose car whats the difference? LOL.
Our "all race" car weighs 3000lbs with driver and runs low 9.30's at 144mph. (1/4). This by no means is a streetable car. Its a purpose built drag car.
I think to do all they (John and Frank) plan to do with the car and manage to dip into the 8's even if it is "only" 8.99 is way more than impressive !
Nice build guys !

I think he was making an inside joke -- we've all had that argument already - about calling a car that did 8.99 an "eight second car"... I lost that argument - but only to those against me (everyone -- LOL).
John/Frank, One heck of a supercar project. At 22lbs on race gas you should be able to get the wheelie bars to "click". Looks like you boys will be extremely busy thrashing
I hear you greg..... i kind of thought that. thats why i put the "LOL".
As for the inside joke... i think its a sense of pride than anything.
You can bet you A$$ when our car dips to a 8.99 I'll be braggin that its an "eight second car" also...
But to autocross etc then make a suspension tune and be able to run 8.99 is gonna be a fun car to watch evolve.
