Here's one of the other cars I used to have. Not really a classic car though since it was a 2003 mercury Marauder that I bought brand new back then. it was all factory stock until a year later when I had 11,000 miles on it, I installed the supercharger shown under the hood shown in the one of the pics here. I also installed headers, and a custom exhaust, and changed the ring and pinion gears in the rear end myself to obtain a 4.56:1 ratio, and with those modifications, and the addition of drag radial rear tires, I ran consistent 12.2 second quarter mile times at the track on 93 octane pump gas alone with this very heavy 4,200 Lb tank of a car.
I pulled onto the scale at one of the drag strips I used to run it at, and with me in the car, and a half tank of gasoline in the tank, the car tipped the scales at a whopping 4,444 Lbs. So I was happy being able to manage 12.2 second ET's at the track, and one day a cold 38 degree december morning at another track, I ran a 12.007 second ET with a very slight amount of day light between the front tires and the asphalt for about a half second coming off the starting line. And I also included a crazy burnout video that I did one day, ( in case some of you guys might like that sort of thing)....this was actually the winning burnout video in a burnout video contest I entered, that was put on by the company that sold me the supercharger, which they did for their supercharger customers only, ( I won a free leather jacket, and bragging rights....big deal, eh? LOL). The company told us all upfront that their motive was to keep the winning burnout video, for use for their sales department to sell their superchargers.....
This car I had dynoed and it made 400 HP at the rear wheels on the chassis dyno, which equated to about 475 HP at the crankshaft, and that was also on 93 octane pump gas alone once I installed the supercharger.....
