Door cars in the 7's?
Curious how many Pontiac-powered door cars have made 7 second quarter-mile passes?
Interested also if if was accomplished N/A or power adder. And if we want to get feisty, what heads.

So how do the guys with a
LSjuan usually get a free pass? LSjuan in a jellybean is no different than a Big Chief "Pontiac" in a real GTO right?

Marty had a Boosted DOOR CAR. It ran IN THE 6S (6.95) with cast iron #62 Heads in 1996! HE RAN 7.40s, in 1996, with the trans skipping second gear the whole run. Old History.

I still have the jelly bean. I can't complain about 24 mpg with the sir, cruise and stereo on while hitting high 11's on Big O's.
This is a new acquisition. |

Being an old fart, you guys will have to explain jelly bean for me. Boosted, No2 and N/A should be noted, as true N/A 7sec door slammed is an extreme challenge of knowledge and perseverance.

7sec na isn't that hard if the car is really light.
