Unfortunately I'm teaching a "basic Car Care day" on the 7th. I do this periodically for a couple different forums, and this one has been scheduled for some time!

Well...
...Scott and the boys over there don't like me posting times since I do not have the timeslip...
But the car pulled the front wheels on the launch that someone video taped, and then they sent me a copy of the timeslip with my car's number on it, that said I ran an 11.24 @ 127mph... But I'm not supposed to "claim" that since I didn't physically have the slip in my possession... Car spun the length of the track and was on stock OEM street Pirelli tires set at 42PSI in the rear and 36PSI in the front. I had an extremely frustrating day with lots of axlehop, and I'm no drag racer, but this car "should" be capable of a 10 second pass... My previous datsun project *(white 260 Z) ran 10.98s at 129MPH with the same motor that's in the silver Z now...

Hey Brian! How's it going mang? I simply can't believe either of those cars hasn't sold yet! That C5 track car would be PERFECT for someone wanting to go play on track for cheap!
Tie Fitr, The quality of the video and of the timeslip was fairly poor and at the time I figured "I don't care about drag racing anyway"...
Of course some take this stuff more serious than I, so my response is always "Come take a ride and then tell me if you think it's quick!" 
I can honestly say without guessing that it runs atleast a 15 second 1/4mile time!
