Yeah, but running the quarter mile in 6.78 seconds at 104MPH would mean you hit the brakes HARD early and could have potentially run low 6s or high 5s. Brandon is a car audio guy, I wouldnt want to argue SPL's with him so you cant get mad at him for not understanding drag racing fully.

That looks like a mean machine!! Got any specs on the setup? I spy a Turbonetics whistle, is that the versatile T61 sitting down there?

Yea, there's a big difference between 6's in the quarter and the 1/8th, Should write that down, wouldn't you if it was quarter mile time, not every one would know that, I did, I'm not ****ing stupid but, hey, with some of hp and torque numbers some of the street cars are making, it's not far off.....trade off the street rubber for some slicks and you shave some pretty serious time off your slip, you just might be surprised some day in the near future, though I'm not sure many people would have the ***** or the patience to drive something like that in the street, I can't imagine it would be terribly fun stoplight to stoplight.

SPL? tsk tsk, I have far too well trained ears to be thumping around like some 16 year old in a bondo'd out civic hb with a 12" fart can.

Actually 6's in the 1/8 mile is still pretty impressive. That calculates out to mid to high 10s, depending on the suspension. Considering his 104mph trap at the 1/8th mark, and considering the fact that you do most of your accelerating in the first half of the 1/4, that car must pull like a raped ape.
Also, Americans draw a fine line in their domestic stereotypes. Some get offended if you call them a redneck and others if you call them a yankee. Must be a north vs south thing, though I think VA was part of the north.

You hit the nail on the head with the South North thing. But alas, Va was part of the confederacy. And I never said 6's were not fast in the 8th. That is damn right quick for a street car in fact.

I have a confederate tattoo on my right arm, although it's kinda shitty but for 40 buck you can't expect much. Most northern US people I've talked to are a bunch of Bush lovers and yea, the north is Yankees I believe, and there's no shame in being a redneck.
