The Moody machine takes its first trip to the drag strip. After a 90mph cruse down I95 to PBIR drag strip. The Comet made its first few passes down the track. With very easy launches in the 2.50 60ft time range the 347 CRE Performance Comet ripped off a easy 13.47@110.16
The car weighs in at a heafty 3550 with BigDaddy behind the wheel driving. With a gear swap to 3.73's Chet Caminita from CRE Performance thinks the Comet will bust off a 12 second pass without any more changes. At the weight of the Comet most speed calculators say the car makes just under 400HP
