Thanks Justin ;) It's definitely a sleeper looking car, hell almost all these cars look the same until you start them up, and it looks the same as a stock car under the hood other than the headers.
It rarely sees over 4500 rpm (converter is a 3800) and I don't think it's been over 100mph other than on the dyno in over a year.
I used to street race a LOT a few years ago, but there's too much to lose now by doing it. Plus I think it's more fun making a night of it and going to the track to watch other cars race and not have to worry about cops showing up. Just grew out of all that.
I did read the article you posted, that sounds pretty shitty. Weird though that a mother would let her daughter and what was presumably her boyfriend race in the car with them in it. Doing 100 in a 45 is ridiculous... plus having driven many of these cars, it's hard to lose control going straight at 100mph unless you're trying, or you have a blowout or something. My car is solid as a rock at 155.
