Default Is this possible

Hey I'm just curious about something...

A guy has said his best time to date is a 12.223@106.44 with a 1.7 60ft time.

This is on street tires in a Typhoon by the way. Why does the MPH seem low to me? I know that the 60 ft time cuts some serious time off the ET but just thought something with a 12.2 would be running at least 110.

I know aerodynamics come into play but power is power right..

I guess I have run a 13.183x@107.29 with a 2.063 short time... If .1 at the line is worth .2 at the finish. If I shaved my 60ft to a 1.7 I guess a 12.48 is possible in theory. Could it happen and what mph would I be at. Jesus I'm about to just say screw power mods and buy some tires since I'd get more bang for the buck.

Anyone got any thoughts on the other guys run.

Typhoon is a brick.

By half track he's fighting aerodynamics, and his 4 wheel drive too, otherwise he'd run 110mph or more no problem.
