It's cool to see yet another PONTIAC powered funny car that was under the radar being built out there. As far as running a 5 second pass, you just never know. Perfect clutch, great traction, excellent driving, and a willing engine, and who knows? That car could be as light as 2250-2300 Lbs. with driver depending on weight of driver, titanium bellhousing, and aluminum block. Also looks to have decent aero body. Hope they make it to Norwalk.
If I remember right, the "Dirty Bird" came out of the box running very impressive numbers. Good luck to those guys.

He's not coming out of the box swinging..........low boost, timing, gets some seat time BUT it will be at Norwalk.
He's been working on it for 7 months, he's not in a hurry.

Generally, when a new car comes out of the gate swinging for the fences, they are a very experienced team, have tons of money and parts to burn, or are foolish. The "Dirty Bird" team had experience. These guys, much like us, seem to be taking a little more cautious approach. Hope they do well. At this level, with limited funds, a major misstep can set a team back for a long time or end the project.
