Gawd, guys are spending big bucks on ZL1's and mods just to break into the 11's. I have a buddy who bought a Vega with a mild flat top 350 in it that runs high 10's. He bought the whole car for $1500 and has run it for 5 years trouble free. Won the track championship in his class. I put a $3800 383 in my Vega and run high nines.
Too heavy I say. I'm not even going to take my 45th to the strip. What for?

Yeah, Race car vs street car.
So last I remember I ran my Camaro down the track, gave up too much stripe and lost by .0221, swung by to pick up my wife and tools, drove to the tower to pick up my check, left my wife in the car for 15 mins with AC running, met & talked with HRD, then drove it home 35 miles, and finally shut the car off in the garage.
I would much rather drive this Camaro than a free Vega.
