At Firebird, these cars with a decent set of gears usually run low 14's to high 13's. It will all depend on the condition of your motor with that many miles on it. Bolt a set of drag radials on it so it'll hook up.PLANET EARTH, INSANE ASYLUM FOR THE UNIVERSE.

The first model car I built was a 32 Ford roadster by Revell in the mid 50's.
How did you get hooked on cars?
