Bone stock and if my old man could cut a light to save his life he would have went rounds. It was deadly consistent, but he’s old and feeble:) it was the lowest fuel mileage I ever saw in the display 7 mpg!!!

:lol:
 
I had an old beater 1975 Fury wagon, 150,000 mile 318....egr removed, cat removed, dist recurved, jvc cassette stereo with alpine speakers.

17.80’s, don’t remember the speed.

Other barn burners......
I used to have a 1986 Monte Carlo ss, it was my tow vehicle.
Tried it for a few runs just to see what it would do.
Those had the electronic emissions qjets, which basically sucked.
16.80’s at around 80.

Bought a new Dakota Sport in 93. 3.9, 5 speed, 3.21’s, fiberglass cap.
Brought it to the track with about 900 miles on it...... 16.20’s/mid-80’s.

Back when I was in the Air Force stationed out in Sacramento, I had a 72 Luxury Lemans 4dr, 350-2bbl Pontiac Power........I don’t recall the times well at all....... but mid/hi-17’s comes to mind.

My 2000 Mustang GT. Drove to the track by myself to watch because the Dart was out of commission. I couldn’t handle just spectating. It ran a 14.6.

Lots of opponents red lighted . lmao !

that's a good run for that. Guy here in town had a new 2017 3.6 with the 8 speed and he ran a 14.60 in the 1/4. That would be about a 9.40 in the 1/8.

A friend of mine ran his 2012 Hemi and only ran 9.10's at the same track, he was amazed that I was running close to his times, he wasn't pushing his very hard. I do have a K&N air filter but I doubt that it would make much of a difference.
 
Dont have actual times because we raced a lot on our own little spot outside of town, but these 2 were the slowest things I have ever seen...the first was 2 1985 Chrysler 5th Avenues...man I could of walked faster than those..lol The other was 2 Ford Festivas...Man we would race whatever we could get our hands on...lol The sad part is I think the Festivas were faster than the 5th Avenues...lol.
 
9.98 in the 1/8 mile in Guatemala City, took the trophy from the JDM crew leader. He had stupid money in his 4 banger. Was in a stock 2004 mustang gt auto. Left on him, drug him, crossed line first and broke out less.
 
70 Charger R/T w/440/727/3.55 All Mopar show at Union Grove, WI in 1984 15.03@95ish. (funny how you remember specifics of stuff....) Won a trophy for 15 second bracket. Was just running it repeatedly, last time I ran the girl in the time slip shack handed me the trophy, had no idea what the f I was doing. I honestly asked her what was the trophy was for...Was pretty funny at the time.
 
as the saying goes, it is more fun to drive a slow car fast, then a fast car slow

I always found it a blast to race to slow cars. You see somebody fall behind a little but as the seconds tick away you can see them slowly creeping back around them and oh-so-close to the finish!!! You race to fast cars and somebody breaks a tire loose and it's over.
 
It wasn't my slowest, but most disappointing. 89 Shelby Dakota. Seemed quick till I took it to a Friday night test and tune at Richmond VA. 16.5's back to back. The track was full of chevy ss tahoes. They were running 12.5's. I put my stuff back in the bed and went home.

66 Chevy II 6 cyl 21.20 like a clock. People HATED that car. So many red lights against it.
 
Did 73.41 @ 18.18 et in my 4200lb. stock '61 Chevy ragtop... even got a plastic trophy.
 
65 mustang 289 auto single track 17.50 track prep in 70's not greatest.slowest car I ran against I had a tube chassis Daytona and passed guy at 142 mph he went 75mph I won!
