quick 60 foot for sure but one would hope that a ~ 3200 lb. purpose built, hand built, $100,000 stocker, whose prototype was designed/engineered by MPR, a car that is nearer to $125,000 going down the track, powered by a purpose built EFI 427 SBC designed specifically for this car, for stock/super and which is the result of 50+ years of R &D and that makes more power than any factory BBC, would be able to achieve that 60 foot.

Not so impressive when you consider that my former ride, a production passenger car designed/engineered prior to 1968, built on an assembly line in early '68, that accumulated over 100,000 street miles before being restified over 2 years starting in late '85 that upon completion, sat under a cover for 4 years before being transformed into a weekend street/strip car with bolt on parts that 6 years ago 60 footed 1.28 off the footbrake while weighing 3880 lbs. and still retaining it's full factory interior including the factory console and staple shifter along with power steering, power brakes, tilt wheel as well it's ALL steel body and bumpers.

BTW, my Chevelle 60 footed/ET the same on 9" radials as it did 10.5".
