I just need to drop a few grand on drag wheels and tires that I use once or twice a year.
No thanks.

Any car that can go 100 in the eighth should be able to cut a 1.8 on any tire at any time. That would literally just be letting out the clutch like at a traffic light and then rolling into it. If you could only cut 2.5 second 60's then you just don't know how to drive, sorry. Practice will help.

lol there is a big difference in getting 400hp and 700+hp to hook lol, but agreed 2.54 is pretty bad. Seat time will help

I'm well aware, most of my previous Stangs have been blown. My coupe went well into the 9's rowing gears. 2.54 is just blowing tire. 2.0-2.2 I could see on a real bad run. Unless he was on a regular radial I dont see why it should be that bad. Thats not even trying to pedal it, that was just hoping to backdoor an ET with a big HP car. lol

Now what's worst? Having a 2.54 60 ft or missing 4th gear all night?

Which is great for a track car taking a lot of driver error out of the equation.
