Yeah, I wouldnt call being half a car length ahead of someone 20 feet out of the hole "owning" someone. And I dont know about your dads chevelle. Sounds pretty pathetic if he isnt running any quicker than a 15.30 car...unless he let you win.

no the chevelle is a driver we did not build it to go fast at all it is strictly a show car. it has a 283 with a big cam in it, so it will lobe will nice. everything is pretty much stock on it. so ya i guess you could say it is pathetic performance wise but thats not what we built it for it is a show car.

Hey Maroon-

I saw ya there. I think you told me you had Intrax springs.

First off, nice lookin' car! 15.3 is not a bad time for a bone stock automatic LB9 car. My five speed went 15.11 best there last September's shootout when it had manifolds and was 90* with a headwind.

That's a nice looking Chevelle too!
