9" and roll bar.

When the car is heavy it's hard to go fast.

I'm going the Noyzee way with the red car someday. Make it light,cheap motor but I'll be going Turbo instead of spray.

You guys wait till I get my car on the road, it will be like a freight train just pass you, given that she 19' 1/2'' long.

bkd, the nitos suck get some mt and see what she will do. i had 3 cars running low 11's on stock rears i set up with no issues. one is still stock rear and should be 11.2- 11.3 this year cam only street car with full options, leather and all. lol

My rear lasted a couple years of abuse in the 400hp range. Also cut 1.60's on 17" nittos. You shold be ok for a while. Save your pennies though, its not a question of "if", but "when".

I prefer any day to have a nice well rounded H/C package that gives good drivability, still gets good mpg, has nice power under the curve, doesn't stress the valvetrain to extreme levels, and still puts you in cage territory at full weight.

You can go pretty far with a cam swap and weight reduction but you may end up sacrificing in other areas.
