Racing on radials..who's the fastest?

[veewhytu]

One for the drag queens, im trying to find the fastest radial tyred car in Aus so if you know a quick time on radials please post it up

[VooDoo]

Nick ran 10.9 in the Coupe4 on radials (but thats cheating of course)

[Muncha]

There was a Mustang at WSID on Wednesday that went 9.1 i think, 500ci big block chev, twin 76mm turbos.







Edit, Yep 9.1, here is a vid > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_7QctfRotA

Wow!,thanks Muncha that is an awesome looking car. Its using 325 MT's by the looks of it.

9.1 is the time to chase then unless anyone knows of something quicker ?

A bit of searching shows these turbo mustangs go extremely well in the states, the Bridge Racing car runs 7s on bfg radials

[Muncha]

Yeah they love them in the states, apparently that car was built in the states and that was its first meeting in Australia so it might be able to dip into the high 8s with a bit of development.

this mustang has already run 8.7 with this set up and it is running on pump gas the owner previously owned a capri that had a 347 ci windsor with two small turbos , pump gas , 235 et streets from memory it ran 9.0.
he is expecting 7 sec passes in this mustang.

Exactly as you see 'em here ...

The next little project wont have any ambitions of being a street car....but it will run on radials. Trying to keep up with that mustang could be a big ask!
