Nice times Richard. That '60 is KILLER! Even if you did race a faster car/truck, from a stop they'd be playing some major catch up.
Hey, take a look at the fastest list. I've got the same ET as Oxidizer, but I have a faster MPH. Move him down.

Brian... your company sells a bad *** product. big tex really has it working well , the best i ever got my whipple with a 6.0 was in the 12.7 range and this was with a little bit of good gas in the truck.
I remember that talk, good stuff!

I think that whitt1 was referring to the fact that most low 12 second and faster vehicles don't have the traction to launch hard without slicks and prepped surfaces. There is no doubt there are plenty of fast cars around here and it doesn't take long to find one that traps 120+ in the 1/4 mile. But most of them like to race from a roll. On the street, I'd get outrun running from a roll. But from a stoplight, I'd have a pretty good chance 0-60.

a 3.7 0-60 is completely crazy in a big *** truck, how much fun is that? race any Supercars lately? The G's must set you in your seat a good bit
