who does what here???

[FAST Z]

Who streetdrives their stuff and who dragraces it track only??
My car is in a million pieces but Iam motivated to have it done in August somethime.. just trying to figure racer's out here.....

Also?? What is fast to you guys??

i ride my bike on the street but thats a little different, and running 10s is fast to me. my goal is 9s tho

[jeff wilson]

street..... 10.90s are a gofast long term goal

[1_Hot_SOM_WS6]

Just got my t/a 2 weeks ago- She hasnt seen the track yet- She'll get there by the end of the Spring though.

[Jersey_TA]

I drive my car down and drag race at atco all the time(when it's not breaking something lol) I'm shooting for a 10 second pass, but I consider anything faster than a 10.5 fast.

[FAST Z]

I had a car that was driven to carvel with kids.. maybe Kmart Car show or Great adventure car show but didn't like that cam2 price to drive it on the streets.... ran a best of 10.97 on the street setup with drag radial..... then with a shot she woke right up.... Going all new Real Fast set up... Street Driving this one is all over...... next street car will be a G body.... but just wanted some feedback heere...... and yes... that number on motor was a wicked street setup.. not real fun.. but a streeter none the less. just expensive for that good gas.

[FAST Z]

sidewall wrinkling.... bad azz motor pass..... front driver lifted about 3"

[FAST Z]

again all motor.....rippin it up.

[Jersey_TA]

Nice pics

[baddest434]

my car a track only car. gone a best of 10.00@136 N/A

9.10@149 at ****** e-town on a 180 shot

atco in the 8's no problem

[sbcpower]

My T/A is strictly a DD, no mods. I'm hoping to get my Camaro, its a dedicated race car, finished this summer in between semesters, my father and I are anticipating high 10s. We're building a serious dedicated track car out of his '57 and shootin for low 9s. I'm new to the sport, but it runs in the family haha.

What's fast?

Street: I think a reliable DD car that is well mannered and can pull 12s (high or low) is fast for a street ride. Any of those cars running 9s on streets w/ nothin but tubbed body, drivetrain and drivers seat aren't street cars to me they're street legal race cars lol.
Strip: Anything under 10.99 gets my nod. Again I always think fast is relative, I expect a Vette to outrun a Civic Si you know? But in general terms, numbers are always impressive. And not to advocate rice, because I think rice is different from seriously racing sport compacts not faygo clear lights and neons, if I see one of those nasty turbo CRXs at the strip running 11s I'll admit I'm pretty damn impressed.

Just my .02

[FAST Z]

9.35 huh.. nice.. steppin up to a bbc myself... sounds like that nova hauls the mail......I bested 10.97 on motor with that 383.. but it was set up for juice if I set it for raw I probably had mid 70's in it.

I would keep your camaro... gettin harder and harder to find good ones....

[NJSPEEDER]

my car is a big project, but it is a fast streeter project. i can't afford a truck and trailer plus avng a cool car, so i will stick to streeters. i am not too worried about all the creature comfort stuff so it isn't too hard to go fast

[Bandit]

Low 12's maybe 11 second pass on a perfect day with new set up. Street, race and Road course set up.

Set up to do everything.

the best street comb we ever built in the shop for a street racer was a boe ty block 3 5/8 stroke 4.155 bore flat piston track ones ( brodix ) flat tappet 536 554 on a 106 center line 750 DP worked to 925 on a victor JR 700 r4 with 410s in a 12 bolt in a 69 camaro on pump gas it ran with 9 inch tires on stock style spring high 10s 125 plus in the quarter in good air -- jz

[79CamaroDiva]

i try and keep my cars either street or strip only, it gets too expensive to put a street car on the track, or built strip car that can hit the street. i have a 79 camaro that hit 12s once, sbc, nothing spectacular done to it, an all stock 02 z28.
my go-fast car is a rear engine dragster, best of 7.80 @ 171 at atco. ran 7.86 this weekend at island, so im hoping that best might improve this coming weekend at atco with some good air.

[jimmyboy8301]

my car is a sunday driver that i also run on the track.

[Pampered-Z]

Well my car has evolved into a semi trailer queen. I only race at the track. It's legal and I will drive it to local events but it's very poor as far as fuel economy for the really long hauls, although it still has all the power accessories and AC.

I expect to see 11's on street tires, not sure if slicks will give me enough to get into the 10s. Probably won't happen until I step up to a bigger SC before 10s become a reality?

I consider 8's fast, but I like index and bracket racing so I can respect a slower car that does well because of the driver's ability to dial in his car and make the right changes! But I do hate getting beat by old caddies and pick-ups with 17.25 dial in! Those that frequent E-town know what I'm talking about!

[ar0ck]

I hope to obtain high 12's on my car and I'll be happy.

But these days I tend to think anything that runs sub 13.5 is fast for an almost daily driven street car.

[ChickenLittle]

Mine is a DD...I'm only shooting for mid 11's which to me is fast for a street car. Hell, low 12's for a DD is pretty damn respectable.

For a track only car, anything 11.40's and below isn't a bad ride

[WayFast84]

for a trailered track car, i think 10.00 and better is respectable, for a street car, 11.50.

[Ian]

I just hope my 79 will be able to hit low 13's

[Squirrel]

Tia was DD, got the **** beat out of her 24/7, the street was my track (when im not at the actual track), just wish i went to the track before her fatality to get that 13.5 bone stock with catback run with 150k
