Thread: Your best ET in a full bodied car?

Tweet

My best et was 9.62 at 143 in a full street trim 67 chevelle with a blown 427 sbc

10.71 @ 64mph on 1/8mi. in 67 Fairlane 500 stock 289 2bbl, headers, flowmasters, electric fan, 8 inch street tires. Has quite a bit of bondo on it too.

Seemed like it took forever to get to the finish line. I think my stock Silverado 4x4 daily driver would be faster. I did win the 1st round though.

71 Nova- 11.89 @118

350-40 over
11:1
turbo 400 3200 stahl
4.56 gears
all metal no fiberglass


fastest i ever went was 8.59 @ 154 in dragster
1.22 60 ft

10.26 @ 130mph in my Mustang when I was running the 427 Sroker (FE) and the C6. I know have a 466 (385 series) and C4 that should be running the same numbers. Will soon find out in a few weeks

I ran a Super Gas (9.90) car for a couple seasons, Full tube chassis, Strange strut front, 4 bar rear. 71 Maverick shell, 'glass front end, doors, deck lid, aluminum floor and firewalls. Power was a 514" Ford, Coan glide, Strange aluminum center section in a Currie fabricated housing. I since sold the car (less engine), the proud new owner now runs it on the street with a kicken 460, aluminum Super Cobra Jet heads and a Vindicator built C-6. Still a very quick car!!!!

I ran 11.31 at 117.00 60 ft time 1.45 on the engine with a .060 over 455 olds engine and on the bottle the car went 10.53 at 123.00 with a 60 ft time of 1.31 the car weighed in at 3885 with me in it I hope to have it in the 10's off the bottle with the car it's in now if I ever get it done......

i have a 1980 camaro with a 383ci motor best run of 12.56 at 109.50 mpr the car weighed in at 3750. has dart heads 215cc with 2.05/1.60 valves a 800 double pumper 456 gears 10.5/28in slicks, 3500 stal stok 8.5 rear end and is all steel body car and drive in street as well that is a blast everyone want you smoke the tires but the cops like to follow you every where.

Best so far is 10.82 @124mph

The best I've run is in the 1/8 is 8.43 @ 85 with a 1.98 60 foot. I've never ran the car in the quarter. I'll run it this spring in the quarter though.

P.S. I know its slow.

later dennis

1972 had a 68 Nova with a 302 small block ran 11.02 at about 119 mph in the 1/4

1988 had a 78 monza with 406 small block ran 6.11 at 122 in the 1/8

1996 daughters jr dragster 8.01 at 82 mph really fast for a 1 cly powered car. Jrs go much faster today, but in its time it was about the fastest around. I know its not a door car but, just thought i would share.

Sounds like a neat car, Dick. Bet you wish you still had it!!!!!!

The whole sad story is, the guy I sold it in 62 sold it in 65 with out the engine an this guy took it all apart, still has it and wont sell it, better yet it is about 3 miles from where I live. The engine went into a stock car an got a broken crank wound up behind a gas station rusting away. Makes you want to cry!

13.06 in the nova <damn thing > over winter doing some serious engine tuning new parts trying stuff hoping for 12.2's
