got the dart down to the track today for some test and tune action. the car suprised, and impressed me with its performance. there wasn't alot of people at the track due to Easter and the weather.
Warmed the car up and teched it in. everything OK. up to par. run car over scale and surprise...., the car which i was told weighed 3010 lbs actually weighed in at a whopping 3245lbs. With me in it the weight climbed to 3445. The car having a stock 440 with a 509 cam, and fenderwell headers i was estimating that it would maybe run mid to low 12s. Surprise again... first time out in car and wanted to see what the chasiss would do,(if it go straight or act wild), the car run 11.26 @115.46 mph. WOW!!!
the best run was my second run....
