yeah, if you want to spend a bunch of money going to a race and competing in a class that you have a very small chance of even qualifying, the ProFWD cars just aren't competitive there - cool to see them out there no doubt but just not quick enough for the 1/8 mile

very true. I wish the NHRA would open up a few classes and let these cars run there with the V8's

If I take out the lexan and put the glass back in, remove the wheelie bars, and stick a S372 turbo in it, can I race it in the outlaw class?
Sweet ride, and a hell of a deal for sure.

The original car is the car that Nelson Hoyos originally raced when Bothwell was running the GM program. The Bothwell ran it with Townend driving it a few years back.

With more FWDs getting into ADRL they might consider opening a class, then it would be worth it!

We were going to buy this car a year before we bought the sunfire from Bothwell. The car is beautiful, and for 30k its a steal!
