I would say with a 2300 lbs car on the starting line, 4.30 gears, and a custom built converter, 1/8 mile is where that car will shine. The way the car was running that day, I would guess that it would have most likely ran about a 16.3 because I doubt the way he says it was running it would have picked up 16 mph the last 1/8.
What is your definition of "shine" ???
The car's "best" point.... no matter how slow or fast.
‘What’s he smoking’ is running 10’s, problem is he still has half the strip to go!
In another example, my 318 Duster picked up 21 mph the last 1/8 mile and hit about 95 mph in the 1/4 (before the dual quad set up). However, because of 2.76 gears, stock converter, and full weight car, the first 330 ft was really bad. So, my 318 car "shines" once I get it going.
