Drag race? Drag race? The last time I dragged raced, I blew away two mid 70's Monte Carlo's... and I did it with a Ford Van.

But then, the two guys weren't willing to run the Red light like I was : )

Its not the car, it's the driver.

OK, someone tell me what's wrong with this post.

"Its not the car, it's the driver" You said it.

If you're going to street race, please stay out of my community. Adults that want to go fast equip and drive their cars on race tracks, not public streets.

My eighteen year old is a night owl and I trust his driving; it's the traffic around him that keeps me awake at night.

If you "need" to go fast, get yourself an old domestic of some type and throw a big block crate motor in it...have a blast! I'll be out on the twisties...

Could one of the better Cobra Kit Cars with a 427 side oiler be the answer to your needs. Good looking, seriously FAST, no top, and moderate handling( not great but not a killer). You could then set up the gearing and trans to whatever it is you really want. Good Luck in your choice. Ed
