Default 13,044cc of displacement = quick

It's a NA El Camino with 796ci of displacement... if my calculations are correct, that puts it about 13L... NA too

7.36 E.T. @ 188 MPH

That's about 100mph faster than I would ever want to be in an el camino at h:

My friend had a '78 El Camino.....if you got that thing over 80, it was scary. And forget about taking any kinds of turns in it. Talk about poor weight distribution.

I guarantee you it's modified and built to handle that kind of speed.

:chuckles: Yep, you'll get no argument from me there.

A 12 Liter V-8 Yugo could be as much of a deathtrap as that legendary JATO-boosted Chevelle...h:

(remember.. the one who plowed into a roadside cliff-face at 200+ according to legend.)
