it's a purpose built drag car.........why all the hate?
so what if it has a 350 in it, better than seeing it in a junk yard.

Yeah, and a purposely build drag car=trailer bitch.
That FB needs a Peri-Ported 13b thrown in there. Then it would be bitchin' and be a real drag car. And can be driven on the street.

haha, you are ******* retarded if you think a p port would be more driveable than a relatively tame 350.
he built the car to run in a specific class, which is why it only runs 11.90's.
have you ever been involved in any kind of real drag racing? like an nhra or ihra series, with rules and restrictions?

peri port on the street?? HAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAAAAAAA
lmfao
in your dreams. a large bridge port is almost unstreetable, much less a peri.
a peri port makes like 0 torque untill about 3000+ rpm
try driving that. you would burn clutches and tires like butter.

one word: money
to be a weekend drag racer with a regular 9-5 job, you can't afford a whole lot. you build a car with a specific class in mind.
the way my car is built right now, i would be in the same class as cars that run in the single digits on street tires. i built my car to enjoy on the street, not to be a competitive drag racer.
my brother is a pro-am racer in the ihra. his car is a "trailer bitch", and it's a national record holder. you are a ******* moron if you think a car is worthless because it isn't street driven. (directed at rowtareh?)
with the IHRA or NHRA rulebook setup the way it is, the only way to be competitive is with a domestic.
