Forgive me for my ignorance , but fill me in on the CM and 7.50 story . I heard they changed the rules a while back that made a lot of the roadsters outdated .

This is exactly the type of set up I'm looking at . Thanks for sharing your memories.

Best is 9.85 at 136mph in the cool fall air (at 3900 lbs). It likes to go between 10.27 and 10.32 in the heat.

I agree with Marvin, and I always wanted a roadster until I realized how much fun I was having with this car.
I have 2 trucks now and I love running my street truck . It runs around 11.30s

started the 14's with this in high school [this is where everyone laughs including me]
ended with this in the high 11's mid 90's
best thing I could suggest is spend some time at the track talking to folks runnin what yer looking to build and see what they have to say..
never met anyone at the track that wouldn't tell you everything they know about their car on request 
good luck! |
Hey , I encourage everyone fast or slow to get to the track and support it .
