Just think of the 60 ft. time if you could leave at say 4000- 4500 and it would
stick!!!!!!!!!
I used to race my 89 stang every sunday and would launch it at 5500 with 8"
slicks not turn them more than a foot with 1.6 60 ft times and turn 13.70's at 98
MPH.
I hope to get the dakota close to this !!!!!!!
