Well its really my Dad's goat, his best time is in the low 12's, not sure the MPH, tonight was the first time we've taken it out to the track all year, we got down to a 12.9 @ 103 MPH i'm pretty sure. He used to normally hit mid 12's, we'll be back in that range by  next year though!

Pontiac 400, automatic transmission, couldn't tell ya anything about whats all done to the engine and stuff, my dad has a great transmission in there, he doesn't tell me alot of the performance stuff about the car because he doesn't like me telling people. He's just that type of guy.
