It runs low 7's right at the 200mph mark, all with a 10.5 tire, all steel (except for hood) and 3,400lbs.

We have drag radial cars around here that run just as fast, drag radial class can run a 12" wide radial. Right now David Wolfe owns the drag radial record with a 7.40@197 with a stock suspension Mustang. Yeah, he's from Texas too.
