Slightly OT guys, but I could've sworn I saw a low 7 second Outlaw car on ebay a couple days ago. It was a red '84 and I wanna say it was a 109mm turbo or something. The car... er, the motor looked amazing. In the ad, it had mentioned the car ran like 4.80's or something in the 1/8th and was capable of 6.90's in the 1/4. I was looking for the ad again yesterday and wasn't able to find it.
I think the 'buy it now' option was set at $45,000

Ohio has some of the fastest legit street drive cars in the country and it doesn't hurt that Jegs and Summit are both here either. We probably have more Pro Stock teams in Ohio than just about any other state which makes getting really trick custom parts for our street cars much easier and much cheaper when the big teams are done doing their R&D work for the season. Larry Morgan lives 25 minutes from my house, Jeg Coughlin lives 40 minutes, Mark Pawuk lives 90 minutes, Ron Krisher a couple of hours, Ray Franks a couple hours and a few others within a couple of hours.

I don't know if he post here.

We are turning our C5 into a 10.5 outlaw car. It has the stock body except hood, stock glass except windshield, stock front frame rails and a lot of stock interior, but that is about it. Not a lot. We plan on going in the 6's, but we will just have to wait and see.

Good luck with your build. I'm thinking of putting together a 10.5" C5 corvette outlaw car. I notice you only use a 12" wide rear wheel. Most guys around here uses a 14" wide wheel.
