I think this situation is a combination of morons at work... Idiots who insist on standing where they don't belong and a 2oo hp driver in 500 hp car.

Judging by the rear tire, that 'Stang appears to be a rather serious piece of equipment.

Just curious, what do you the fastest cars on the list would run in the quarter mile?

I happened to catch a rerun of the show last week where they were racing some guys from Chicago. One of the cars from Chicago was Bobby D'Andrea's purple IROC Camaro. It is a big tire car with a 632 on NOS and I saw it run mid 7's at Joliet several years ago at a NMCA event. He was racing a second gen RS Camaro that was supposed to be the fastest of the cars run by the Street Outlaws guys. I'm guessing the top cars would run at least mid 7's at the track.

I saw that episode and they mentioned that the pro mod chevy II was a 6 second car. I figured that was a little exaggerating for TV. 7s is crazy fast especially putting that kind of car on the street.

Don't know about the Nova, but Murillo's notch is a 6 second car. Makes somewhere in the neighborhood of 2400 horsepower to the tires. Too much car for the street, though, as you said. Last night he put half a car on Chief before the 60 but couldn't keep it hooked.

Anyway, it was a great season finale, and I loved seeing Murillo in action on the street. I realize that most here don't pay attention to Fox bodies, but that black coupe is a rolling piece of history and it was cool to see it doing what it was made to do rather sitting and gathering dust in the back of somebodies shop. Good show.

Anyone catch the season finale (although there is a new show next week which appears to be more of behind the scenes type of deal) last night?

I thought it was great. SPOILER ALERT IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT.



The top three fastest SO guys got beat by Kye Kelly from Missippi in his 3rd gen Camaro. Only Dave gave him a really close race, although maybe if Chief's car didn't wheelie so much that race might have been a lot closer.
