Great Deal for someone wanting to step right into a turn key 6 second ride.

And for those of you that have never stepped in a drag car or you run this slow ricer burner crap with a loud muffler and a cold air intake..don't even try to think 6.70's is slow by no means.

Heck you almost couldn't even put my short block together for that price. :roll:
I went from a '78 Malibu that ran 14.60 in the 1/4 to the altered. My dad and brother told me "Do whatever you feel comfortable with on the first pass. Just drive it thru at 50 or 60 mph if you want, just to get used to it"
The very first pass I made, I wasn't sure what I was going to do. I did the burnout and thought "That wasn't so bad.". I staged it the tree came down and I thought What hell I gonna stand on it. :shock:

My next thought, as the I could see the pavement becoming a blur was "OH MY GOD this thing is fast!!!". I''ts a 1/8 mile car. It went in the 6.70's the first pass. It took a while to get used to. It'll run in th 6.20's now. You're right. most people don't have a clue.
