A Mclaren http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McLaren_F1

for a tram? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D1_class_Melbourne_tram

Send me a PM and let me know how much you want for the F1...

Kidding... what the hell is an F1? Or a D1, for that matter.

If this is an obvious thing, then I apologize, as my vette is NA - for now.

Good luck!

I do not currently do any 1/4 mile racing. I do this more for fun and grins. I am going to the track tomorrow and will try a pass or two but the track is also doing a 60-130mph run. Right now I do have traction problems. From a 60 roll in 3rd gear I have to ease into it. Flooring it lets the tires completely loose. When I build the motor and upgrade again I plan on doing suspension and tires.

I did in deed. The car went a best of 7.4 but it literally spun the whole way. I was on street tires and I was suprised to see it keep spinning in 4th. I tried a few different ways but the best pass came from bogging the car in third and letting it do it's thing. At 3800 it started spinning and never stopped all the way to 134mph. There was someone from LS1tech who was filmimg but I havent seen it yet
