We chose them because they are proven to work. Just like the stock throttle body is good for 159mph and stock axles are good for low 1.4 sixty foots.

Let me start by saying beautiful car. Looks like a very well put together car.

I do have a question though regarding your picture below. From the angle of the pic(shooting downward) compared to the gap between the lip and the shadow below it, to me it seems like the lip is barely off the ground. Maybe its decieving from the angle?

If you have the tape measure a couple inches away from the lip and point the camera downward, it makes it look as though the lip is actually higher than it really is. Understand?

Can we get a picture with the camera on the ground with the tape measure in front of the lip, that would be the perfect angle.

Just an observation I made.

Good luck and hope you keep breaking records.

Congrats. I'm not much for drag racing but it is oh so nice to see folks beat civility into the uncivil.

Keep up the good work and good luck in the future.

I would say the stockers would work with Slicks and a few other mods much better than having street tires and single disk clutch. I know i went thru 2 sets of rear stockers before i upgraded the rears to DSS
