that 7 had to be one of the fastest launches I have seen! That thing hooked right up.

 

I think my wife has lost her mind., whats next, eating dinner on Nascar plates?

 

There are actually like 3 8 second Luv's in WA. Either that or I saw the same one with 3 different paint sceams.

 

not one to make a fuss, but the link states "DID'NT DO TO BAD FOR A 383 SBC BRODIX TRACK 1X HEADS"

...sbc... usually denotes small block chevy, so i'm guessing that is the block, and it is the current bad ***

wildcat chebby of the moment..... (just trying to figure out how to punch out my 305tbi before i drop it into an SE)

 

wow... I would not want to even ride in that thing... there is fun and just downright scary... that luv falls under the latter of the 2.

 

Man up "Z". You cant tell me, if that beast you are building did scare you, that you would go down on HP!!!!

 

My car is nothing compared to that... mine is just a toy for spirited drives... that LUV is a death wish for me...
