Suspension suspension suspension....

My car has a decently built stroker, yet my suspension is very all around for drag and handling...

It does 12.5s on street tires...so with DRs it may into the high 11s lower 12s...check at the link in my sig...

Some people are too poor to buy drag radials or slicks but still like to race mike Yes they won't get their top performance out of them but oo well.

hmmmm, I understand and agree but some sure don't have a prob buying goobs and goobs of performance parts to go faster instead of drag radials.......why be faster if you can't hook it up??..hook it up then go faster.....I have a wonderful video of what occurs when you race on street tires
