It's all about low 60ft times. Getting out of the box clean is the key to a fast ET. After that it's more about just rowing through the gears and not missing any. Oh, and getting grip (i.e. drag radials). I personally would not take one of these cars to a drag strip on pure street tires...you're just asking for it.

Most cars here are all solidly in the 12's (even with a bad driver...the power to weight ratio is just too forgiving to run any slower unless you are really bad). Several others are solidly in the 11's. Very few are capable and built to dip into the 10's. It takes a good 60 ft time and decent skills to wrestle any car into the 10's. And HP.
