Sub 11's on street tires? In a 4,200+ pound package? Holy smokes. My various bracket cars of the late '70's and early '80's had to be on slicks to do that, and they all weighed under 3,000 pounds.

I would be interested to see one of these things at a local bracket race. I would be willing to bet not a one actually breaks 12 seconds on its issue street tires. Horsepower alone won't do it, especially in a car that heavy. It's all about the launch and the first couple hundred feet when it comes to those kinds of ET's. That's where street tires fail...
