i think aerodynamicly (sp)  it'll be tough, look at the lines of the new mustang, then look at the Pinto!

Pro Mod are easier because they use pure power to push through the air. It will be tough though...

Hi SRT. You are welcome to put your car up there. With 63000 plus listings (only of the pro and semi pro cars), there is no way we could keep track of the hundreds of thousands of other sportsman racers over the years. But we would be proud to have you (or anyone) put their cars up there. Here is the ADD form:

Where in East Texas? I'm from Lufkin myself, but live in Alaska now.  Working on the fastest street legal electirc (conversion) production vehicle which will be a Pinto  :lol:   Looking to take the record from John Wayland and the White Zombie.  Check White Zombie at http://www.plasmaboyracing.com/ and his post on www.dragtimes. com  under either Past Featured Cars or Featured Eelectric Cars.  His fastest 1/4 mile time is 12.151 and with some recent mods will be breaking into the 11's real soon.  I'm shooting for the high 11's when its all built and tweaked.  It'll all still be street legal as well.  What are you shooting for on 1/4 mile times?  You going with a 9" rear end?  See my posts elsewhere on this forum on The Electric Pinto.

Mike Moran used to run a SMALL BLOCK 1980 wagon.In the fastest street car shoot out mike turned an 8.83 at I believe 168 mph.Unfortunat ly I understand he took 2nd to a 55 chevy,it ran a 7.75 at 179. Would that race be a shoe box agenst a slipper.
