This little car would blow away 383 and 340 cars. It would take a good running 440 to beat it.
I'm getting drag radials. It will run well into the 13's with drag radials. Then I'm going to turn up the boost and shoot for the 12's. That is as far as I will take it with the stock motor.
I ran a new Camaro ZL 1 yesterday. He didn't beat me by much. A little traction and I most likely would have beat him. He was running drag radials and the tires were more than double the width of the tires on the GLHS.

Traction is part of the package. Sorry, but especially on the street, a rear-drive car is gonna have an advantage over a FWD almost every time due to the traction issue. To say it would smoke 383 & 340 cars??? Well, you just dont have the facts to back that up. When my Satellite had the orig. 150k mile 2-bbl 383 with the basic stuff (mild hyd. cam; intake; carb; headers), it ran 13.80's. 383 Road Runners & 340 Darts are pretty much shoe-in's for a 13 second time slip. No offense, but your sons car is a full half second off that pace. The clocks don't lie, and right now its a mid 14 second car. Lack of traction isn't something specific to your car, and it isn't because you're making so much HP it cant hook up. It's the nature of FWD cars. I don't mean to flame, but I just really don't like the "It would beat this car IF" stuff.... The guy in the other lane probably has an IF too.
