Message	...I rarely see good 60's on low-profile drag radials. Yeah, Travis did it, but you mentioned the reason why: he used 15 inch wheels with the appropriate BFG radial, but those sizes have a good, thick sidewall. That is a key difference! Those sizes come much closer to slick-type performance than those folks trying to run itty-bitty sidewalls. But, yeah, you're right. People are focusing way too much on power, and not enough on using what they've got. This is why the Supra's have the impression that they are superior. RSR
