It's getting funnier, now 3 more people are going to suffer the wrath of Burns.
You all misspelled Camero,

Camaro for that VAN!!Rudy

seems like a 8 second camaro. Maniac

Paul it could be that the camaro. Mopar

Course he misspelled Fussing,

no fusing/fighting.burns

But that's O'K cause he's only 15 yrs old

Now about comparing a Malibu to a 3rd generation Camero or any Camero, the reason you see more Malibu's than Camero's is because they have a frame under them, the Camero is a unibody. My Malibu is certified to 8.50, cost about $2500.00 with backhalf and full roll cage to get the 8.50 certs, with a funny car cage and X bars in the frame it will certify to 7.50. It cost a min. of $4000.00 to $5000.00 dollars to make a Camero certify to 8.50 due too the unibody chassis, those are the things you will learn as you have more experiece in building a race car. I'm not knocking you for like of experience, but i will say as you put it wait until you see my Camero, mismatched fenders, paint, interior, and the list goes on. If you spent as much time on working on you car as you do the computer, you could make it more presentable when it get's too the track. I don't care if it runs 10's it should be something you are proud of and not something you just saved from a crusher. Drag racers are a proud people, everything i own is first class in appearance as are most of the other people on this forum. Not everyone can be the fastest person at the track, but no one will/can laugh at what we bring too the track and that's one thing you should keep in mind when you start building a race car, be it a steet car or an all out race car. Don't let yourself get into thinking that's it's o'k no matter how it looks i just want to go racing. I'll be the first too admit my car is not fast at 6.50's but i can assure you it's flawless in appearence, mechanics, and the structure including welds, etc.
