|
IT WOOD HAVE TO BE FUN WITH ALL OF THOSE PONIES TO PLAY WITH. I JUST 845 AND COULD USE A LITTLE MORE.

Its a wrap. We destroy around 5 complete bodie and 10 or panels a year,
if we are lucky. this body lasted two races and then we wrapped the next. http://static.racingjunk.com/1/ui/8/0/5597542769172.jpg |
man that's some cash just in bodys.
|
the last one was 800 plus shipping plus wrap
|

|

I can take a couple plug wires off and run ya :P |
i can't leave any harder with the d/r but the big end it's flying.
|
well the old nova ran 5.68 in the 1/8 mile with a 572 in it power glide 5500 converter and a 430 gear 16.5x33x15 tires a little heavy at 3421 lbs all steel but hood and bumpers all factory glass and interior all lights work and thru exhaust i guess that wasn't to bad now the bird hasn't been out yet this year but the same combo but the weight is a bit lighter 2300 lbs so it should run pretty good i hope .
well itryed to post a pic of the nova but couldnt do it . |
rl, with a 1000# diet that thing should fly!!!!
|
i hope so those 1000 lbs sure cost a lot tom put the avatar up for me that's the bird there it ran 5.30 with a mild 540 in it so with this one i hoping to get down in the very low 5,s

Since I didn't sell the car....it is getting ready to get a chassis update cause 7.50 chassis limit is not going to cut it for the plans in 2008. *wink* OBTW...I wouldn't be bustin ya chops if I knew it was not fun'n games. :D |

Yeah, just run it and be proud. We are a small fraternity so weather it runs 18's or 8's at the track it's your car and your self satisfaction that counts and we all know what type of effort is needed to put a car on the track regardless of the ET that's on the ET slip. Good Luck
