    Conrad, when you gonna take that thing to the track? I will be there on my 3rd combo before you go once with yours....we need to hit steele soon
    Jerry you were there when I ran 123 on real street tires. I don't think people undertsand how fast 123MPH is in the 1/8th is when they claim it. Everyone just throws these track times out there like its nothing. If I'm not mistaken everyone says how fast your car is ,but I know your car was not anywhere near 123MPH in the 1/8th and you were still running 9's with slicks and skinnies

    123 in the 1/8th is insane for any street car. Thats a mid 5 sec 1/8th mile pass and a mid-high 8 sec 1/4 mile at 170-ish mph. No one on the board runs that most likely, except maybe "Joe..." And thats probably a stretch.
    And NO ONE is doing that on street tires. Period.

    so high-mid 5's is about right for 1/8th. Cars will vary some obviously.

    Anything else enlightening?

    Your right man, I have never been to a track before but one day I will go and see how fast that really is.
