I think those times are HIGHLY unrealistic. One, even though the NHRA is now allowing newer cars that meet NTHSA crash standards, I seriously can't see the track owners really allowing to many people to run into the mid and deep 11s without putting in a roll bar. VERY VERY unrealistic. High 11s for both cars I think could be a reality with a hotshoe and a good tire under it, but 11.4s @ 130? In what a 3500# car with approx 500 to the wheels???

It doesn't have 500 to the wheels, its 500 crank.

the reason those times are so low is because they didn't account for wind resistance among other things. It says that in the article. READ CAREFULLY
