Hi Brian,
Well of course I'm going to exaggerate a little, but I'll still be
in the three seconds on a drag strip where I can hook up. Remember
you're comparing me will sports cars, that are built for cornering, in
slalom type racing, their heavier than I and have smaller engines, and
pulling one gravity is nothing. You know dragsters pull over six
gravitates. My CJ-2A weights in at seventeen hundred pounds powered by
the Siamese Chevy small four hundred inch, four bolt, steel crank, using
a three hundred and thirty degree duration, half inch lift Iskenderian,
Edelbrock and 850 CFM Holley, ten and half FI Slant heads, three hundred
and fifty pound closed springs, 2 1/8" ID by 32" each tuned for six
grand Hookers, eleven and a half inch Scheifer, Lakewood scattershield,
M-22 Muncie, Dana 20, Ford nine inch with 5.38s, hundred and fifty horse
nitrous. I don't know, maybe my eighty foot may be quicker. :-)

you have wheelie bars on your "real Jeep" in the event that you *could* hook
