First run down the strip and I have no idea how hard he was running. I am basing my comments on what was shown on his "info board." I did not see a dyno sheet nor did I ask him to prove it.
I only asked because according to hid board, with 900 rwhp, he should be trapping right about 150 mph. 138 mph is WAY off pace. The E.T. will obviouly be slow because the traction issues associated with low profile tires. I can attest to that!!
Maybe thise numbers were on race gas and he was running pump gas???
I am curious because I have the same setup in mine, and know that car should be faster that 138 all day long.

I totally see what you're saying.
But he may have been p-footing it, or just had a bad run. Either way, it's faster then any of my sheet has ever been, .
...Stages, light turns green and he leaves like he is going to the 7-11 for a big gulp and he was not thursty. About 60 feet out the car looks like it got shot out of a gun...
Wow, take it easy on the poor guy. With the quote above, regardless if it was 900 hp or not, doesn't sound like he hit it until 60 ft or so. Also, sounds like it may have been the first run down the strip. I can pretty much bet that no one here ran their best number first time on the track.
10.7 is good for any car. I'm happy to see a true PT run those kind of numbers. Heck, half of the ProStreet cars struggled with 11's and 12's.
No doubt, I love to see "Pro street" cars with crap sticking out the hook and big tubs out back barely squeek 10's or 11's. I love when a PT car like mine or others with low profile tires, in full street trim, on pumpgas, can blow off 9's or 10's with no sweat! Heck, to top that off, most PT cars are about as quiet as a dodge ram!
Most of those guys are so clueless!
