Story

Purchase car from a high school buddy with a mild 350 in it then added nos and it all started there, wanted to go faster stop better handle better. It took five years and lots of cash latter but the car is getting closer to being finished, need to finish interior sort the suspension a little more but the car is scary fast my best time is 11.01 at 135 on nitrous with the Yokohama tires at Steele dragway a 60 mile drive each way.
