Never had mine on the track, but I would be VERY happy if my car could pull off 10.7 @ 130 in the quarter. That is smokin fast. You are still the king. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmDd14eITU0 I have watched this one many times...
That car has a 10.xx in it easy. Just knock off a 1.6 60ft time with some nice quick shifts when the DA is below 1000 ft and you're there.

If you like try the Mickey Thompson ET street drag radials next time. They last quite a while, hook nice and don't throw stones if they're not heated up. They do heat up if you drive at higher speed over 70 or 80 for a while.
