10.99 requires some crazey safety equipment . SFI scatter shield, aftermarket axles (need anyways) and a few more items. As of now to compete in sanctioned events and even at most tracks when you run 11.49 or faster you need a 8pt roll bar, fire proof jacket etc. I'd like to see 10's on slicks, then I can take the slicks off and work on the street tire set up.

That's half the fun. Mardi needs to line up against a stock Viper. It would be hilarious.
BTW, how fast was the stang? When I was up against a 95 GT last year the guy said he'd leave me a 1/8 mile headstart.

I doubt the owner of any one of those cars could give two ***** if a Maxima beat them in a straight line. Well excluding the Viper which isn't in the same class as the others listed.

bwaaahahah you guys are funny. True, Mardi's max would probably beat any of those cars in a 1/4 mile race but try racing anyone of those cars from a roll. Sooner or later, you will run out of gear and they will keep pulling and pulling. lol
I witnessed a dsm hang with a viper from 40-150? and after that the viper pulled away like crazy becuase the talon was already at redline in 5th. hehe.

ok, sroory to ask this, but out of curiousity (the answer is most liketly yes)
do oyu have LSD, if not would that hel alot more, well I do belive you have, or else you car wouldn't be able to pull as fast.... (I dunno)
BTW you just brought out the love for modding that I lost when I crashed my car a few weeks ago.... soon I will start with my new maxima.
