Default New Best ET with my bone stock '98 Vert..

The conditions weren't even all that good.. We had 10 - 15 mph head wind and the temperature was in the mid 70's...

BTW - It's a A4 Convertible with the 3.15 performance axle and Z-51 suspension...

R/T..... .026
60'.....2.008
330'...5.732
1/8.....8.722
MPH....82.90
1000....11.285
1/4.....13.468
MPH....102.20

It still feels slow compared to my '68 :jester

That's a lot better than Doug (Snowman) did with his Tahoe at Beech Bend a couple of years ago. :yesnod: But, then, he was pulling a trailer with a car on it! :lol:

Well Norm, taste's different... I think that some rollbars look actually good, but I still think it looks even better without them... The only acceptable style for me is the double hoop style... but I'm not aware of anybody making a NHRA or IHRA legal double hoop rollbar...
