Why not? I did it. Actually, it was one of the slow cars there that
weekend. Lot of cars with lower times. I never took the Vette down there, so
I never got to see how fast it was there.

I had a Cosworth. Bought it for a fraction of the worth because someone
stole the head off the Cosworth motor. And that was basically the worth
of the car. LOLOL

REPLY: Stock what ? HOw can a 'stock' motor Vega run those sorts of
times ?

''I ran a Vega once with times in the low 8 sec. I think I still have a
slip around, 8.16 or something like that.''

REPLY: In the eigth mile , correct ?

You are a great guy, very smart and help everyone. But there ain't no
way a stock
Vega will do 8sec 1/4. There is no way a stock suspensioned Vega will do
8 sec 1/4 with
a frikkin cammed up rat motor in it and a powerglide w/transbrake. The
car would fold
itself around it's center and rip the control arms out of the unibody
with enough tire and launch
to get into the 8's.....

Timing errors can happen. So I'm absolutely not saying you aren't
telling the truth about your time slip.
