I love passtime, I record all of them and watch them when I can. Every now and then there's a car or two that surprise ya but most of the time it just amazes me how slow some of these radical combos are. There was a nice blue Dart on one I watched this morning that was actually quick at 9.71 @ 136 MPH, but it kinda ruined it for me when he said it weighed 2880 pounds and had 810 HP. Tube chassis cars with over 500 cubes on a plate system going high 9's low 10's etc.... I still LOVE the show though!

There was a gen 1 camaro that had a f-2 procharged big block in it only ran like 9.70s. I work part time for a speed shop and the shop camaro was about the same set up and it runs 8.50s. I thought I was going to be all over that one when I watched it for the first time.

Yep even most of the power adder cars seem to be way off the mark, and alot of the cars sound like they are really lacking in the torque converter department. I missed the 10 second Cherokee, wish I'd seen it. There was one episode I saw early last week that seemed like every car ran really hard, great episode. I really like the host and Ken Herring, oh and Paige also. But there are just way too many turds lol, alot of them would look much better if the owners didn't hype them up so much and say they have 1000HP.

I think he is a member here. His name is QuickDart502 or something like that. I also read on yellow bullet they got the new motor running and stuck the car in the trailer to run it in the show.

I'd be curious to see the guess's on my ride...I would bet most would be faster than it's actual ET...based on how light and small the car is..
Same here... with my small block... I'm sure they would be way off since they are use to all the BB high HP camero mutts LOL
