I'm impressed only because of the trans and gear ratio used-otherwise it would be "ok" depending on raceweight-what is the raceweight anyways?

Nice pass.

He is going to put some cut outs on it and see it that gets it in the 5's. The car is in Chattanooga.

Whats the deal with people picking heavy turds with brick aerodynamics to go drag racing. Do they have a special fat class now.

Lol you can ask yourself just that when you can't catch up to one.

His raceweight is 3580-pretty close to a c3's weight maybe lighter than some.

Ya but a nova weighs nothing compared to a chevelle a little narrower.. Not knocking it because its not a vette there not good drag cars to heavy to short of wheelbase for strait line work.

But then i never liked the chevelle he has to to race that thing.
