ROCK ON !!!

Let's race woohoo!


Right on, Man your MPH are impressive it's a stick right? Mine are so low because of my slush box and my 3,400 RPM non-lockup converter. Oh well, my 60 ft is in the 1.64 range.

I am stick ... 5-speed.
I have hit 1.676 and 1.684. Those are my only 1.6s.
If everything goes right this weekend at Nopi, my MPH should be going up in a healthy way ;)

11s with out slicks? :sly:

Its possible but he would have to be making crazy power to get back on pace after the weak launches he would have to do.

I have a magazine with a daily driven 900whp supra. I'm guessing that is fast.

now, from personal opinion, the falcon is a neat car, so is the cuda... now what i'd like to do in time after the j30 is complete is get a 70 maverick and drop either a 302 5.0 in it (already have one) or a 351 into it... if i can find one at a good price. Those cars with a v8 go really fast, i don't know the times on them (cause i've never seen one do the 1/4) but my dad says that since they came stock with a v6 (long) just imagine what you can do with that space in the hood with a bigger more powerful engine.

A fast street car should be a smog legal, sub 13 second, daily driver that get's at least 20mpg on the highway with the AC on and Slayer blasting out of all 8 speakers!

I am talking about the australian version of the falcon.The XB falcon would have had a 250 crossflow in it.But out of any falcon, the XB has the most space of all.And they had stock guards that could easily fit 10 inch bags under.This XB i speak of had room for more cubes if it was needed.But what the guy who owns it drives it to the drag meets he takes part in...
