Not bad. Sounds like he has a SC or a gear drive in that thing.

Having driven a 10 sec Semi street legal 1970 Road Runner (426 hemi baby, yeah!), I can say that it is way too much fun. I prefer something slower though.

Street legal? I guess if you take off the slicks? But DAYM... he can probably get a wheelstand out of that car if he wasn't careful! :D

My fav is of course... something like this... in case you didn't catch that... it's 9.75 @141...

Torque 101, taught by the driver of a Miata... roadster.

;)

Fast car, though, that's Venom territory.

torque is force, not power, though some people around here might tell you its power.

When you have enough torque to pull a house off the foundation, who cares? :D

I have 8L and have not broken into the 10's yet.

yeah, but you probably drive a truck. let's try to stick to cars k?

maybe someone can give us a breakdown of how much money was put into that thing:

1) 2000 formula (i'm assuming the 5.7L LS1)
2) swap in a 7.0L V8
3) stall converter, different final drive ratio, etc

lastly, i'm hoping that that 10.2 is at least NA, considering how much displacement they had to work with. if they needed a SC to get 10.2 out of 7.0L i will be very disgusted.

Yep. A 5000+ LB truck that does 11's :D

It is supercharged, so I guess you will be disgusted :D
