Unique at the Dragstrip

Not bad for a top that is rated at 65mph.

I guess you can bump the rating up just a bit.

I did add some snaps at the top of the side screens to fasten it to the top and I do have the windshield brace.

A 3:73 gear would help.

Not too many cars can go out on street tires and run a 12:06. With the MPH you have, your car would most likely run an 11:30 or better with softer tires and 60ft.

How was the wheel hop?

Comment on the top.

I have the MG style windshield brace installed and cruising at 80 MPH+ is routine with side curtains. I limit to 65 MPH without side curtains.

Justin,
No wheel hop.

I sat at the tree like I was at a traffic light going to church on Sunday.

In first gear with my right foot on the brake. Took off easy so as not to spin the wheels.
With my street tires I don't have any wheel hop anyway.
With the road racing slicks I have run they will give me wheel hop.
The car was like it was on a rail. Solid as a rock.

Rick,
If I went to a 3.73 I would want to change to a five speed.
Then again I could just change to a five speed with a wide ratio gearing.
The kicker is I didn't get to run enough to try out different launches.
I know I can break into the 11's just the way the car sits.

Well Geary now you know you are good to at least 120mph with the side screens in.

I thought that the Supersnake, and/or supersnake replica, was good for 200mph

It is but just not with the soft top on.
