The car is a full weight car with IRS rear suspension (way more than a 5.0 car), is lowered, and has nothing in the advantage category regarding drag racing or launching.
Whole bunch of the guys in my power level with this type of car run in the 10's with a good driver and some practice.
If I cared about the ultimate low ET I would do a k-member, suspension, remove tons of weight, and beat the snot out of it at the track. Well, lemme just say that I just paid it off and don't hate it like that. LOL
HP doesn't equal ET with these cars. Not always anyway.
For example, my old 5.0 Vortech car ran easy 11.40's with 380RWHP. Car was way lighter and could be launched hard. The MPH was only about 117 or so indicating that it's all relative.
