    and did you notice the staring weight, 2700 lbs yet all it could do is pull a 2.9 60 ft....

          They were good up to the point to where they started taking the doors and all off. You guys know as well as I do that no dragway will let a car without doors let alone a windshield go up and down the track without concern for safety. My local track fully inspects every car before they are allowed to race. All of this is for safety and this POS is definetly exempt!!!

            I have been looking for that article for a while. Thanx.

            But it has to be at least 5 years old.

            And it is a fun read.

              If you ever want to make something stop existing, the Milwaukee Sawzall is the tool.
              Best line.

                That's funny, lol. I agree with the safety thing though. My friend almost wasn't able to run because his battery wasn't strapped down. Then again, I don't recall seeing a single jack stand, so obviously safety went out the window since there was no glass to hold it in...

                  That's funny.

                  Even my stock Firebird with 100whp (stock suspension) could hit a 2.0 60' and 17 flat
