    Congrats my 71 can't do 100+ if I had all day, going downhill with a good tail wind :rofl: but I will wager it gets better gas mileage lol.

    Thats what I was thinking, if you can get your 60' down it is directly related to your et.-----More seat time and learning your car, next thing you know you will want to go quicker, I know I did and now I am too quick and have to spend more money for roll bar

    That's fantastic...................like every has already said, great job!
    Now it's time to see what you can do to break into the 12's, cutting a could .2/3 tenths off the 60 will certainly get you there..............
