Anyone see a black 02 mustang GT with a R wing spin like crazy off the line??? NITTO Street tires suk off the line! even when I feather it..
my best 60" was 2.4 at 14.6 @98mph
My car is capable of mid 13's

Mickey T or M&H Racemaster drag radials are MUCH better than BF or Nitto..(probably why they aren't legal for drag radial class)....but i wouldn't get caught in the rain with them....that's the trade off.90LX306 said:Do yourself a favor and dont even bother with the Nitto Drag radials.

I guess thats why they are street tires..QUOTE]
i know it, it didn't help me having them on 18 chrome r's, i was able to get a 2.04 60ft though. slipping in 2nd didn't help tho, i ran a mid 14 at 95 . oh well, it was my first time ever. next time i will put the DR's on, i'd like something under 1.9 60
whitehorseupnorth said:Please tell me what was wrong with the car. The judges didn't think it was any good. They gave away the turbo and high tech award to a guy with a Procharger . Didn't even get in the top 20!! You would be surprised at how many shows I go to and don't even place. Last year at tasca day they gave out 2 trohpies for 1st 2nd and 3rd. Didn't get squat. I think I will just drag race it next year. I would like to try true street.
Hey Steve, Congrats on the win!! I wanted to stop by and say hi, but never got the chance. I'am glad you were able to finally get the bugs worked out. I know you've had you share of problems. You deserve the win. I also hear the car is capable of more! Thats just sick!!
