Roads around here work well along with the 1/4 track. Plenty of 140mph pulls have been done. Trust me I use the power lol.

Then there is the CTS-V, plenty of 160+mph pulls have been done with it.

Problem is you get used to the power and then it starts to feel slow again. That's where the addiction is, you want that fast feeling again so you mod more. Then the cycle just keeps repeating lol

Amen Monte Brother!!! Got my next mod for the 84 sitting here in my living room. A rear end out of a Grand National with 390 gears...going to have a full spool and 30 spline Moser racing axels with c-clip eliminators. When I put it under the car I will also have Competition engineering adjustable drag shocks,,,also going to put a set of the drag shocks on the front.
