Weld, you're wrong, we're right.

So if my car runs 12.0's, and one day I hit an 11.99, the people at the drag strip are going to tell me to leave until i get a roll bar and all the other 11 second stuff right? Or can I say no, I run 12's, and sometimes 11.99's I don't need it..? I remember when I hit a 12.99 and I needed a helmet, there was no argument about whether or not I had a 12 second car, it was "you run in the 12's, you need a helmet, thanks bye" and I had to borrow one quick to keep racing... to me at that point I had a 12 second car, although I did tell people it runs high 12's..

Only on a forum could 15 guys argue about something so stupid. I'm guessing it would take about 2 minutes at the bar between friends.

Greg, just wanted to let you know my X-Treme Drag Radial car went a 7.81 @ 187.5 MPH.

To everyone else here, my X-Treme Drag Radial car goes 7's at a buck 90. (In heads up racing we round down on the ET and up on the MPH)

Now, the PT is slow no matter how much power I will have in it--but it does corner much nicer, and does so with the AC on and my kids in it.

If you want to do both and be competitive, build two cars--the drag car will never be fast enough for me even though it is a purpose built car, and the PT car will never be fast enough even though it is purpously built to not be a drag car. I think it's just in my nature to want more power in every car I have--my wallet doesn't always agree, however it doesn't stop my wants.

Steve and Jake, always impressed with your stuff---that car of V's is a bad mother. Props to you guys for actually pulling that off--got to be one of the best "sounding" PT cars to date that actually backs it up with an ET and handles the twists as well. Great execution all the way around.

This car went 11.16 @ 122 (1.52) just as it sits in this picture:

Same car with a swap of rims & tires, it went 10.77 @ 125 (1.47):

Same car on the 17's (and the front sway bar) was driven on some of California's finest mountain roads.

Trying to drag race on baloney skins is frustrating. IMO, if your going to drag race and auto-cross, have 2 sets of rims and have fun. Why handy cap yourself?
