Borrowed some drag radials to run a newer mustang 5.0 at the track.. enjoy!
I'm Gtm stg 1 supercharged and the 5.0 has I/H/E and 4.10 gears. I got frustrated losing traction so much off the line that I swapped on my buddies 03' cobra wheels with 315 nitto 555's at the track

Ended up running an 8.4 on this pass in the 1/8th, with a 1.9sec 60ft.

Nice, but you should be faster if your SC and on DRs. Just need more practice at least you beat him was he on street tires.

If you watch his other videos, he is spinning hard all 1st gear and partially 2nd gear.

I think I only trapped at like 84 on that run, but with my street tires I ran an 8.6 @ 86 I think

Yeah that was my first time trying to run on drag radials, I mean I'm sure it can break into the high 7's. Not sure how the stock axles will like it though
