Not only for my own satisfaction... but now when people ask what the car can do in the 1/4, I will be able to give them a straight forward answer. No more pulling out the excuse list and making them roll their eyes at me.

I am not sure why you guys consider wheels and tires to be serious modifications. It is actually quite the norm for drag racing. If you spend a day at the track, you will see far more cars on tires like my 28's, than you will on 19" volks or works LOL

for me i am more interested in 18s that clear the akebonos with DRs or my 19 rays with DRs. personally i am the same with not wanting my Z as a drag only purpose car. i just wanna drive to the track, swap wheels if i have to, put the others back on, and go home. no grinding calipers or modding parts. just put on the stickies and run it lol

i have been looking at wrecked 370s lately thinking about maybe taking one, stripping it down, shaving all weight, and starting with bare bones and a engine to make a drag only car lol
