Civette 320whp@ 2850 with driver= 13.5 @120mph haha 2.9 60ft spun to the 1/8....working on that problem now....and still no cam, heads, or o2's installed......car is in reduced power mode allthe time right now....hoping for mid 400's or high 400's off the spray....and close to 600 on the spray...lol

local new z06 owner 500hp@3132lbs.......13.8 @ 116 haha (not very good driver) i know this was a fluke and we have one in town running flat 10's just thought it was funny to see that....

Haha yeah the driver mod is the most important one of all... I saw this 05 Mustang GT with a Kenne Bell on it that was supposedly making somewhere on the order of 450 RWHP, that had a fantastic run of 14.5 because he spun the wheels all the way through second gear lol.

Wow, I just checked out that Pak-whatever forum....pretty retarded what some of the nay-sayers were saying! You were still getting a lot of props though. At least the guy didn't claim it was his, but he sure didn't do anything to dispel the rumors everyone was saying. I was waiting for the guy to claim it was his work and someone point out in the pictures all the American people, cars, plates, electrical outlets (as they have different power supplies), etc...
