Default Fastest Drag Radial V8 Car
What's the fastest V8 drag radial car? Is it turbo, supercharger or nitrous. Doesn't matter if it's Chevy or Ford.

Is Mike Keenan's Mustang still the fastest. Just heard it was sold to someone from UAE for super street class.

Since when does Wolfe have the record? As far as I know he has not ran it out the back door.

How do you get to compare 1/8 to 1/4. I mean is there a conversion.

Wow Dave ran 189mph in the 1/8th?? That's more mph then Lynch and Petty's car on a 10.5 and twin 91's.

If its 189 in the 1/8 then, holy shiat. He'd need wings to run the 1/4.
