You raised the bar for sure.

I have a few tricks to try out next year!

I am pretty sure that the IS300 was not on a 17 inch tire. That car rolled out though. It was impressive to watch.

I would have bet money that you couldn't run 8's on those tires. I'm impressed. Any new goals?

novi357 posting above is the mustang being mentioned in that thread.

i have a spool in the rear all the time and it isnt a big deal at all, actually less of a deal with the trz bar in back.

Just so you know, my car weighed 3700 lbs on the scales at MIR when I ran the 8.87. It is not exactly a lightweight car.

I like Dave's car and always look forward to when we can get both cars on the track together.

Your car and MM's car are far and away the most bad *** true street cars out there. There may be some faster cars, but they aren't getting driven like they should.

You both need to go on drag week and clean house!
