As for me , and i might as well tell you about my brothers as well, Im driving a 1997 Z28 with alot of bolt ones, nothing internal yet. My brother is driving a 1979 Trans Am, with the pontiac 400 and an aftermarket 5-speed tranny... Well we have been to the track, but we dont have any UBER CRAZY times like you do man. 10 sec? how much did that cost you, damn!! He ran a 13.6 at like 104 or there, 2.1 60 ft, so you can tell hes spilling a bit, this is on slicks BTW. I ran a 14.1 at 106, but with....get this: a 3.1 60 Ft time LOL:eek: :eek: :eek: This was on BARE street tires, they looked like slicks:o , and 4.10 gears so im pretty sure its a mid-low 13 car if i ever hooked that first or second gear. I didnt mean to get you pissed of man, i just thought you didnt know what your talking about, but you obviously do. Oh btw, what does it feal like to launch that thing? I cant even imagine that.....Tell us more about that Falcon man....

sorry for getting pissy with you,
here in vermont i only get about 4 months out of the year to drive the damn thing and the rest of the time its in the garage so i have a lot of time to find parts and work on it you know, see what works and what doesnt and when the snow finally melts its feels great to take it out and horse it, i never been a big fan of fords but when i saw this falcon i thought it would be a great project car and it has. i dont have a scanner or i would send a photo of the car sorry i tryed to keep it as simple looking as possible it's flat black with all the original chrome,the only thing that really stands out is the dual 3inch exhaust out the back, the hardest part of building it was making a suitable frame because the car was unibody and i knew the first time i got after it the car would have bent in half, and i have to take the inner fenders off everytime i change the plugs. i think i just have too much time on my hands.

Ouch, I don't usually have any problems getting to the 8 plugs on mine, the back ones can be annoying at times. Did you go 3" true dual all the way back? I did a crossover in mine and it sounds alot better than when I simply had a striaght pipe.

i mentioned my lexus in here somewhere already.. but since this thread is back....
my dream really WAS to get a ferrari. im not at all into speed, im into glitz and money. but i am a bit of an environmentalist, and 10mpg doesnt cut it.. japanese cars generally get good mileage esp with the new hybrids. id love to own a prius. its what my parents get me once my brother gets his shit together and gets his license. well i hate the looks of it but 50mpg cant go wrong. anyway ill make it cute and grow to love it later on, im waiting on hopefully a sweet ass hybrid (or fuel cell) lexus convertible (hard top). i have a thing for japanese cars. i figure thats $60 so with the other $110 left over from the ferrari id hook it up with a system, some diamonds, and some mock suede....... hehe.... west coast customs here i come!! oh and one of those color change paint jobs like black to silver.. somethin like that. black to red , black to pink

oh! what put me in the 10s was nitrous, now that stuff is nuts!
the first time i hit the "go!!" button i buried the speedo and stretched the cable so i couldnt tell how fast i was going because the needle just floated around, I know somepeople think nitrous is cheating, but its cheaper then a blower and it will make your car pull it front tires off the ground if your mill is built to take the added abuse. the falcon is the only car i have ever built that will pull its front tires off the tarmac.
