I couldn't go full throttle till mid second gear and I think my 60 fts were 2.2ish
I'll never own another set of Nitto's.

car looked awesome yesterday, i definitly got semi watching it head down the track. your car alone made me realy wanna get my **** together. i already knew how much of an animal the car was, but it was good to see it go down the track. to do what it did at 12-13 lbs and 5600 lbs is insane. id love to see what it could do with a little less weight and a couple more lbs. of boost. of course, you may want that bigger tire first, lol.

Nothing wrong with this math.. Turbo+Drag Radial=Low E/T & High MPH

Here's a vid of a turbo 4.6L with Drag Radials:

The long wait and only getting 2 passes in was still worth it to see some of the cars. You've got one hell of a car there Mike. Amazing job driving Don.
