MPH means nothing... A 135mph car will get walked all over by a 125mph from a 20 roll if the 140 is 60' 2.0. and the 125mph car is 60' 1.4s.

So tires now making it a "drag car"???

What the **** is with everyone and this "Drag car" "racecar" talk to any car making decent power/running decent times. Since when does a radial make it a drag car? Guess what the baddest street/grudge cars out there run.. Radials/slicks. Those are cars that run on the STREET and know you have to have a tire to get a car to do anything anywhere.

Your car is a joke, even for what it is. The times are pitiful. I don't care if you add 50080832 excuses to the bag of excuses you already have.... Whether you call it a cruiser or not. You make fun of someone elses ride, expect someone to call you on yours.

I have nothing to hide with my setup... Forged 370 on the bottle. Just your average every day racecar.

My stock DD would be a good run for you.

I have a fab 9 for...had it for a year. But as I told lemon's it's on the street 99.9% of the time and it's not needed. Besides I'm sure you know how crappy a proper drag set-up is on the street. Me nor most people want that. except it. Lol....don't tell me how to build a car. You have to build the back first because inertia is your only hope.


And I blew holes in those corrected #'s. Just that simple.

You try to get a normalish tire to 60' in the 1.4's on a dirty uneven street. What will happen is that 135mph car will drive around you.

But a 1.3 60' car is still going to out 60' a 1.7 car on the street. Thats a fact, Jack!

If my car falls on its face after 70mph... My 1.3 60' is enough to assure me a win VS your pile.

Have you ever seen a 1.4 car jump out on a 1.7 car? It is quite violent.

I usually agree with what you say and back you in things... I can't with this. A car should be able to get down on the street and track. How my car runs on the drag strip is how I make 9 hour drives.



Do it then report back.. Until then you are just spewing.
