    That car will run mid 11s easy. Get it to hook to get those sixty foots down. The 104 mph looks low, Then again you were letting off. I would guess 111mph to 118mph maybe more. I am very impressed:bowdown:

    The techs, (if they even notice) will just come over and give you the standard, "you need a roll bar to run that fast" speech and ask you to slow it down or get a rollbar. Best time to run is on test and tune nights. My buddy runs mid 10's @ 134mph in his turbo supra and no one has ever checked to see if he has a cage.
