Growing older is mandatory...growing up is optional.

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

I don't think you're old or slow, but you have a car that's pretty and fast  :yes:

Thank you sir. Alas, my car is a lowly "A" body and doesn't quite measure up to the "E" bods..... :wrenching:

Oh no . . I cannot let this go with out a response . . . And that is. . . .  Seriously?   :P. We let you park with us when you showed up at Carlsile . . . I think this is the year you return!  Cody is coming, topcat is planning . . Viperboy and Ashley have some secret plans for Saturday lunch that they will not even share with me?

wtf?  lol.  :thinking:

But I'm on vacation!  lol.
Drive it like you stole it . . . And they're CHASING you!

And really? a lowly "A" body, HA HA.  Not sure you're going to get much sympathy from us.  Your Car ROCKS!!!!  Can't feel sorry for you man.  :no:

Thanks Neil.

I took the car to a local small 1/8 mile track just to play with it a little bit back in mid November. I went 6.04. That was actually a little quicker than I thought it would run with the converter that is in it. Hoping to get it in it's natural habitat this spring and made some runs down the 1/4 mile. I iwll keep you posted...    :driving:

A relatively slow 1.42 60' time. That thing flat out hustles once it gets moving. The converter is is too tight for a great track time. It is a 3800 stall Continental converter. A 5000-5500 and a trans brake would make that thing flat out leave the line, but that takes away the street manners and I drive all over the place spring-fall...


Cuda Cody

That's a really good 60' for a car that can still be driven on the street!!!!

That's like a 9.56 quarter mile time, that's moving!

Sounds like you have a puller, meaning a top end car. How's the launch going?
