I'm sure it's not the fastest by any means, but back when my car was a "bolt-on" car, I ran 12.10@112mph(1.61 60') on 255/50/16 BFG drag radials.

The only real mods at the time were MAC headers/off-road Y, Hooker catback, Vigilante converter, 3.73 gears, and my homemade airbox lid.

Strange question...makes me wonder why you asked that...

Did the firehawk roll down the track yet?

I know of a local car that has gone 11.6@116mph on 16 or 17" drag radials. Stock cubes, no skinnies, and no real weight reduction.
