Thats not bad at all, must have done a few tweeks to it, think they usually run in the 13's.
The Jeep carries alot of weight around with it, they are almost 5,000lbs!
The vette at just over 3100+ the power to weight ratio really makes a difference.

I'm too scared to do that!535ft lbs of torque+front wheel drive+6000lbs of boat may just equal a few broken parts.

Yah, that's always the chance you take and that is best left to the Mustangs. That looks like it would be an awesome highway car!

I guess I never posted up the other inhabitants of my own garage...

2010 Merc GLK 350 White w/ premium and sport packages (wife)
2001 Merc E55 AMG Black w/ only 47k. ("daily driver" that likes to also munch on the casual and unsuspecting Hemi LOL) Insanely fast and quiet for a "family car".

This heap. 1957 chev 4 dr (car for the family to cruise in) that has been eating at my time and psyche for too many years. It looks better than it is.... lots of sheetmetal replacement underway.

Cost of restoring that one vs finding one already done in the states? Or is that not the point? I know that it's not the same as if you build it yourself. What are your plans for the build? LS motor or a mild 350 with an overdrive? Turbo 350/400? Straight 6?
