If the car is set up right (suspension ect) I think it would probably run in the low 11.40s.

jeff..... the car was a rot box! he bought it for the motor and drivetrain.... it had nothing in it for floors.... the only thing that was holding the carpets up was the exhaust......not s**t :wink: everything else that could be removed was....but the doors and seats. it may off been about 3k... cant remember what it weighted when we scaled it?

well.... we dyno'd my bro's vega..... spun it to 7k and it made 505 hp at the flywheel and 474 ft pounds of torque ........ 390 hp at the rear wheels. so what do u think it will run in the 1/4 now?

one thing confused me though... it made 474 pounds of torque at just over 3k and then flattened out......but it has a 5500 stall! does that make sense?
