IMO your car has far from sleeper looks and it should run what it does. 
I agree it should run what it does ( actually it should have ran better and it will), but far from sleeper looks? 10" tire, pump gas, 6 pack hood and a stock back seat? Most of the cars that I run with dont fit that description...  you still butt hurt bout that 340 car I bought???

70 Duster... Not that quick, super mild big block with a bottle... 6.20 last time out, just took another 150 lbs out of the car, and went to a good exhaust system... high 5's are the goal... Nothin special... But, I drive the car regularly, on pump gas on the street, dont wanna ad the cage because I dont want the race car look, and I like getting in and out of it easily... I take my kids to school in it...
beautiful car, but I would be more worried about survival if you crashed at that speed over looking like a race car.. thats just

Mike, go out in the garage with a tape measure and get back to me with the tread width measurement.It better run 9.80s on nitrous , right? Anyway BIG rear tires, Big Block 500 cubes give or take, fenderwell headers, huge hoods scoop, NoS. Post a picture of this mild mannered pump gasser and see what other people see. No im not butt hurt on that Duster,you had to have it to...flip

Thanks, I may in the future complete the cage by running it through the dash and with removable low mounted door bars... I agree with safety, My point is simply that a cage isnt "mandatory" (from a performance standpoint) to run in the 5's... And to me its ridiculous that a 10.00 doesnt require a cage but a 9.80 does, is one accident really gonna be that much different than the next by goin 4 MPH faster??? 
And Joe, heres a pic of that "HUGE" hood scoop... LOL

well not everone wants a tubbed back half car that only goes to a trac,to maybe get 3 passes
Well I guess you can buckle the quarter panels also
but maybe you dont care about that either... JMO
to each his own
I have a local track that I can go to also, but yes I do track rentals too... $100 to make 30 passes VS $25 for 3 passes ??? seems like a no brainer to me... besides I love thrashing on back halfed, fully caged, stickered up, wheelie barred, chute hangin off the back show ponies... with my "street car"... Id rather have a fast car that looks slow than a slow car that looks fast... 
well ran 10's w a good set of frame connectors,didnt um a buckle NOTHING but my seatbelt ah durr.

Are these remarks soley directed at me, or other people? And if so just because i said the car looks far from a sleeper and should run 9.80 with a 500ci on juice im a "Hater".
