Good god that looks like a blast!!! I've always wanted to get a Ford Pinto or a Chevy Citation and stuff a V8 in there somehow. I just want to pull up next to a Vette or a Mustang or something and completly smoke them off of the line in a Pinto!! Just a childhood dream of mine I guess.

My brother inlaw had a pinto with a destroked 351 Cleveland and twin 4 barrels that pulled a mere 9.2 in the quarter mile, when it could get traction to leave the line, way too light for that kind of horse power. But it was fun. He drove it once and never got in the car again except to work on it. Must of had something to do with uniform damage he had
I had a V-8 Vega, 400 cubes single quad, 2 speed, 9 inch ford rear end narrowed with a locker center section. Popped the windshield out on its first run at the track, something to do with frame shifting and the such, but it was Fun like nothing else
