We both sound like broken record players. Everytime you go to the track you say NEXT time 12s no problem and its always 13s.

I say every winter that the car will be running by spring, and there it still sits in the garage.

We will both get our goals eventually, but I lol'd pretty hard at ourselves.

I know right, it's frustrating. I've had enough experience to confidently say what I think it's capable of running by now. I just need to prove it.. I must have hard data. It's like the only goal I have here is to get that timeslip and then I will be satisfied and simply maintain the car and only do minor tweaks..

This car has been at 155 and is physically limited somewhere around 185-190 I think..

And 13.2 is nothing to be happy about, until considered with the speed and significant problems. It will run at least 12.2 (and maybe even 11.9) in the spring.

youve seen an alero get up to 150+?

If you had the HP, I think the 3.29 final drive tops out around 225mph, completely theoretical... lol

You say your car is physically limited to 180ish... power wise maybe but I dont think I would do that with your cars current structural condition....

definitely not lol, like i always say i don't like top speed, it's all about the acceleration
