    Best 1/8 mile ET is a 6.73 @ 101.90 mph. Have only made one 1/4 mile run and the car went 10.80 @ 122 mph because I had a 6000 RPM pill in the MSD6al Box (car was on the rev limiter just before the 1000 foot mark) so guess the car should run in the 10.60 range. Anyone interested in a 10 second Regal, turn key with about 40 passes for $10,000?

    Resurrection is awesome.

    Won't let me revote but I got the ten I wanted in '03 so badly. Got the 9's I wanted after that. Now lets see if I can get the 8's I want by the end of this year. All with a 10.75 to 1 Buick 464........with a little spray. heehee.


    Oh yeah, Got an 11 in my Turbo T I picked up in 'O4 on 17 inch wheels with drag radials, but I can't get that on here either. Dang.

    In my 72 Skylark went 14:90's several times. 455/400 with 2.56 and street tires. I was shifting into high at the lights. That is the car I gave Mary for her 16th birthday. Building her a 350/2004r combo now.

    10.04 1/8 mile first time at the strip. I know I can lower that a few tenths though...

    I ran a 15.6 in the 1/4 with my stock '04 Park Avenue Ultra. No floor mats, spare tire or jack. :) At this point my dream of finishing my '72 Skylark with a blown 350 is as far away as a good economy!:pray:

    My car has kept up with both a Porsche 911 and a Ferrari 360. Eventually though traffic thinned out and I don't keep up anymore. Where would that be on the poll?

    75,000 miles in 57 years. About 1300 miles a year. That's not very fast

    I never ran my 455 down the track in my 66 skylark but the potential is 11.50s to 11.40s best guess.

    If i dont have mine in one piece by spring, itll be doing 9.8 m/s^2 right off the edge of a cliff (until it hits the ground that is)

    I don't know why that popped back up, but I posted that back in June of 2012. Think my tapatalk app has sprouted a mind of its own!! Right now my car is sitting under a cover doing absolutely nothing! Maybe if I'm lucky I'll get to drive it this weekend, but otherwise nothing. Weird....

    Last trip was a 13.50@101.18 with the 350. If I ever get time to finishing putting the new engine together I hope for 12.30-12.50.
