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?

This is the only other 8 second street car I have seen on 17" wheels.

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.

Its an LS1 site, no ones gonna pull their head out of their *** long enough to give you the respect you deserve for your accomplishments.

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!
