For those of you with FI - Who's in the 10's

Plenty of ten second and faster cars out there that are 2WD (e.g. Supras/Cobras/Vettes). All about getting it to pavement, which will probably take some awesome drag radials and a great driver. Back in my M3 days there was an ex-pro (or semi-pro) drag guy that drove his E46 M3 to ridiculous times. I watched some videos of his footwork and it was truly amazing. So far advanced from my own drag skills.

Exactly. No reason you can't break into the 8s with rwd. Faster than that probably ain't happening though.

Last week, a full weight (3695lb) twin turbo Viper, still maintaining the independant rear suspension, using street legal 15" drag radials, ran a 7.119@201.34mph. Its a new setup too, he said he is still ramping in the boost slowly. I will bet anything he hits 6's very soon.

RWD is not holding anyone back from drag racing... it just requires the right setup.

Was referencing 370 build. Other cars are another story. The s197 should be going 7s shortly.
