Surely you mean the 1/8th mile.



No sir, I mean in the quarter. Just over 144mph. Although I didn’t have access to a real Dyno back then the car was put on one that was used by a couple nascar teams back in the day and was the in the neighborhood of 600hp before we put a turbo from an old Mack dump truck on it. Would launch like a rocket.

I built some very respectable cars 25 years ago, now I’m learning all this LS stuff and starting over but the Monte Carlo that I’m building should be a low 6 second 1/4 mile car
