Ah, but you quoted my quote since I couldnt edit. I think he'll do mid 14's easy his first time to the track, but with some DR's and practice it's easily a mid 13 second car.

Yeah, auto. Can't launch above 12-1300 rpm without tires breaking, even need to be careful on the launch or I spin coming off the line. I will be getting better rubber this year when I finally get a wheel/tire combo going. Need to get a TC, but I don't know how much more $$$ I am going to put into this thing.

I think the MPH is too high there, more like 14.3 @ 97 mph.

Thanks, we will see what happens... and it isn't as easy as just bringing to a strip and seeing what kind of 1/4 I'm running. Unless I am missing all the strips in Nebraska. Hope to find out this spring.
