I'm pretty sure he was on RE-11s and pulled a 1.89 60'? Drag radials on an NA car with minimal power won't get much better than that 60'.

If he could pull a 1.6 that would help ... I don't know how hard that is with RWD though... with the RE-11's, that's an excellent and sticky tire, so aside from going DR's I don't think you can do much better in that area IMO of course.

With the torque curve the way it is, dr's can slow the car down a lot of times due to bogging. More grip isn't always better.

That's probably been a big concern with your last couple cars, right?

Actully ryan on the re-11's my best 60ft is a 1.81.

For me to run 11.xx i would have to do major weight reduction with a 5 or 6k launch, then maybe if nothing breaks. Truthfully it would take a perfect night,perfect track and perfect driving( which I've got that covered, lol).
