Yeah, but anything at or below a 14.5 is pretty impressive to me given the nature of the car.

Like I said, they had a hard time hooking up with FWD. The trap speeds better reflect the performance.

There isn't. But if they could hook, they'd be deep into the 13's with a 103/104/106 trap.

Nope...throw it on a car with more displacement, and it's over again.
