It’s not about cargo capacity, it’s all about the maximum grocery consumption efficiency. My grocery + passenger combination will be fully balanced and blueprinted and the degree of grocery consumption duration and lift will be very high.
Oh and you’re on! This will be an epic 13 second wrong wheel drive boat battle that will be recorded in the annals of drag racing history.

The SS is a bit faster than my Regal GS stock to stock.
The supercharged Regal GS had a 1/4 mile ET of 14.7 seconds, and acceleration to 60 mph (100 km/h) from a dead stop took only 6.6 seconds.[2] The Regal GS, equipped with the supercharged 3.8 liter V6 engine (L67 produced 240 hp (180 kW) & 280 ft·lbf (380 N·m) of torque. The Regal GS’s PCM has programming that activates torque management to reduce wheel spin at launch.
Mine’s got a few bolt-ons and has gone 13.81 once and a bunch of 13.9s though. I’m usually running the 1/8 mile in like 8.9x. Would’ve been a good race as far as racing 4-door FWD GM pieces of shit goes. :squint:
Getting pretty close to starting up my beast. Most everything is done, just needs final assemblyand checks. Going to rewire ECM tomorrow and run new wires for MAP sensor and misc items.
I believe the car will definately be running by this upcoming weekend. I want it done for Friday’s FBODY Cruise thing at Wexford. May not be 100% tuned/broken in but may get there on its own power
