Cars that are faster than they look.... - Page 21

flynbrian · 09-08-2009, 01:27 PM

I love that 73-75 LeMans....That is so sick! My first car was a 75' Burgundy LeMans it was very nice. Sold it to my brother in-law who sold it to his brother who still has it. Kinda rough looking though...SO sad. That car was nice when I had it. First car I ever swapped engines in and built up.

That's why I got the 74' Monte Carlo now....Its turbo'd and runs high 13's at the moment while looking totally stock....With some tweaks I'm hoping for 10's while looking the same. I have a bigger turbo and lots of parts laying in wait....

Most people think my car is a 15 second car at best.

Has been a 5.71 (video here) on about 15psi of boost, should go a good bit quicker if I ever get back to the track with it.. It is licensed, insured and street driven..

Here is his 89 Notchback........it goes low 9's at over 150mph on 18" drag radials......just as in the picture.

He also has a Mach 1 that looks 100% stock on 18" wheels that does high 9's and a 2008 Mustang GT with 20" wheels that has been 10.60's. All cars that you would never guess run that fast.

I think everyone knows that's Lidio's car... In fact it was in Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords this month.

So if it goes over 150 where is the chute or mount hole?
Or is this one of those cars that does not have to play buy the rules?

There are alot of tracks that don't care, I've seen plenty of cars down this way running 5.teens-4.90's that don't have chutes hell most don't have but a 10 point cage in them.

I see 25% real sleepers, and 75% cars with 4-6" cowl hoods that look f'n fast.

I ran over 150 for a while without having a chute mounted on the car. Eventually all of the local tracks started to know my car so I had to have the chute mounted before running.

In the past, if I was running at a new track the car would not get that hard of a tech inspection. Then, after my first pass they yell at me looking for a license and making sure that all of the required equipment is there.

At one race, the tech guy never looked under my hood and pulled on my stock seatbelts and said, "yup, you're good to go".

These days I don't really mess with it and just run with the chute mounted from the start. It ruins the fun of the sleeper look a bit, but it is much smarter anyway. Most people think I just mounted the chute for looks until after the first pass.

Since its more street than track it only has a 6-point cage. He only runs at the monthly grudge night where the track doesn't care about safety equipment.
