you see 124mph on this vid, the 125mph was on my 12.2 run
The diffs in these cars seem to be pretty durable. I've only seen one break and the guy was in a KB SC Challenger 6 speed and let it wheel hop half way down the track.

Just put some DSS Level 5 axles in her and slap on the DRs. You'll instantly shave time.

I'm gonna try a 2nd gear launch next go.

dude, I already got DSS level 5s and the 1000hp dss 2 piece drive shaft. SHR NAG1, 3200rpm PI stall converter, blue top solenoids....I'm going to get some DR's in the near future, once the invos start getting low

Ah gotcha. Thought you were a 6 speed for some reason. You got a posi in the diff? That'll be the only real thing that'll give you grief.

I'd just get some Cobra R wheels and some M&H DRs for the track. That's what I did and I just swap them over to race, and swap back to my Invos to drive back home.
