Coming from someone who needs to pick up a half second to be competitive,I was wondering how this car LOST over a half second from what it usually runs?

I would like to know that too. Two weeks ago on the day I sold the car it went 10.67 @ 122.

Would the 71 motor be different than the 70?

New owner, new category. There can be a million different reasons for the poor performance. Perhaps you should ask Marvin?

My old car... Off 7 tenths from when I sold it.
Bruce is right. Could be a million different reasons, but that's why I like to sell them right at the track, if possible.
