Great job Randy!

Next year you're gonna be slaying bitches well into the 13's.

Nice time, keep working that 60' time and you'll crack a 13 for sure, I was able to drop my falken fk-452's into the low 20's and still keep some stability and get some low 1.9's

I haven't made it to any of the drag strips this year, but then again the 240 has been sitting since june with a blown turbo, guess I won't get to try for 12's on the stock turbo (13.1 best 1/4), but the new upgrade should be here soon. The 1/8 mile track 10 minutes from my house repaved the track this year, i've heard every body is breaking records out there.

Thanks for the comments everyone! I would like some good street tires. I'm against getting drag radials, because I'm trying to make the car quick in the 1/4 mile, but totally streetable, discounting winter driving of course. I want my car set up the same way for the strip as it is for the street, so I know I won't be getting the ultimate best times. But that's ok.

if you have the 18's, there are quite a few good summer tires to play with out there, 17's would require some playing around with sizes....

a quick search leads to nothing in the way of summer tires that are close to stock height....

damn, maybe I'll have to get 18s. I like the dark MCA wheels, I'll watch the Mustang forums for people putting them up for sale.

Thanks for checking.
