when i had my old tires on it would never get any traction in first if you were trying to go anywhere in a hurry, but a few times i got it to hook and i bent my head back over my headrest it pulled so hard. now i think im used to it thanks to BFG traction T/A's.

I think i've seen all my car has to offer at this point....but every once in a while i'll be surprised at how much better it runs than at other times. You get that with a carbed car though.

Mine doesn't surprise me on the street but the first time I took it to the track with a built rearend and M/T ET Streets, I was surprised. I went from a 14.1 @ 102 to a 12.88 @ 110 with NO tire spin. When it hooked, it felt like someone hit me in my left shoulder and then it took off. It was my first time ever at the track without spinning the tires. Because of that, I was able to launch it at 5,500 rpms. Nice!
