It bites.

My CSX dealer sold an "identical" car to mine, but with a tamer engine to another customer. He ran upper 10's.

I took my car to the track 1 1/2 yrs ago. I didn't figure the problem out at the time, as my car was dying 1/2 way down the 1/4 mile, sputtering, big loss of power. I still ran a 12.01 @ 118 mph with the engine dying 1/2 way down the track. It turned out it was fuel starvation. Maybe this fall, I'll run it again. I was running BFG radial T/A's. 3.07 rear. Toploader.

If you're more interested in trap speeds, how about 135 in the quarter and 108 in the eighth. With air conditioning, cruise control, a 12 CD changer and 20+ mpg.
That's great. It's definitely a fast car. It's still a vette though.
