The subject line doesn't specify BDR, it's about 1/8 mile times. My 1/8th mile speed was 94.56 mph.

A one legger rear is a one legger rear, no matter what car it is. Sometimes it runs both tires, sometimes it doesn't. Tires sizes and compounds have little or nothing to do with it. The laws of physics will determine if both tires act together or only one gets traction. Come out of a corner with the weight shifted to the outside tire and the inside tire is going up in smoke. Put one tire in the dirt and the other on pavement and the "dirt" tire will the only one spinning. 17" tires won't help the laws of physics.

I'm not saying a one legger is a "bad thing", but Dennis Kelley states one tire is going up in smoke, draw your own conclusion!

This coming Friday night the Hawaii Cobra Roadster Club is meeting at the drap strip. A NEW BDR with a Roush 342 will be there (running Goodrich T/A's). He knows the T/A's represent a serious traction problem, and that assumes he can get them BOTH to turn, a valid concern. If I bought a BDR (it's possible) I would opt for the limited slip, no question about it.
