That is an awesome site. I am glad you posted that. I had it in my old computer's favorites and couldn't remember the site. Now I have it in my new PC.

I'm with Z28, no way does that car weigh 5k. There was one at Tulsa last year with a smallblock in it and it was lighter than my Chevelle. It was pretty fast though.
