Wow, if I could drop 1100lbs. off my car I think it would run 10's the way it sits. Stock motor and all.

On a more serious note I can't wait until NHRA inacts weight restrictions on the import classes. Your going to see the times start getting slower and slower. It's just a matter of time and it keeps things level on the playing field. Every other sanctioned body requires x weight for the class you wish to compete so why not imports. It will also stop all these "bragging rights" about how they went x.x with x amount of displacment. All this from a guy who use to do the import scene, I hated the weight issue then, you have a supposided street class with cars ranging from 3400lbs to 1800lbs. with the same displacment and power adder restrictions. I've yet to see a 1800lb. street vehicle.
It's not the 4 clyinder that's the handicap, it's the FWD that makes it difficult. Everything is all ass backwards trying to launch. Your trying to fight physics which isn't easy to overcome.
