    Not counting the cars in the Timeslip database, what's the fastest Mav or Comet your aware of and consider the E.T. to be correct.

    There was one on RacingJunk a while back, set up for a BBF...advertised that it ran 8.20's and 160 plus with a 557. I believe it was a '70. That's been a while back though so take it with a grain of salt.

    No limitations on mods...as long as its ford powered and a Mav or Comet body design.
    It's good to know if it's a doorslammer, BB or SB, tube chassis...etc. etc. interesting that low 8 cars are Big Blocks so far, good stuff.

    "Fatboy's Toy will be the fastest when it debuts in 2007.:yup:"
    :lolup: Yea..and I'm saving this quote until after "Showdown:Atlanta 2007 :D
