I have yet to see anyone with the driving skills of darril. Hell, he even holds some records for dragracing his snow mobile.

So before IKE (a guy who probably does't know the difference between a drag strip and a drag queen) and some of you others bash him, maybe you should do a little research.
Once again I will state... I am NOT bashing anyone.

I have a good friend that runs 14.7 with his SE-R with 1.6 60' and he runs 12.50's with his 3rd gen (modded of course). He and I discussed my crappy 60' and his reply was "I don't know. I'd have to drive it for myself."

I posted my actual results even trhough I didn't think they were good. They are REAL and that is want I thought was important.

thanks forcefed for bringing your experience here. i am an autocrosser, but would like to do at least a little drag racing in my rx8 just to get the feel of it. also so i am not embarassed by stock 90's neons that can do a 15.0.

i started the 1.8sec 60' time benchmark as what i understand a good mustang will do on drag radials. i know a few people can get 1.8x from street tires, but thats not too many.
