Would like to hear some reviews on the Dragy from you guys once you get things sorted out and get a few good runs. Maybe start a thread in the Street forum if you’re so inclined.
![]() A pair of easy to find and inexpensive 15x7 Rally II wheels would accommodate some 235/60 or 255/60 drag radials and work pretty well. I’m seriously considering getting one to see how my 421 convertible does. When I was thrashing it a bit from zero to about 90 in an effort to seat the rings it doesn’t really break traction from a standing start with the 2.56 open rear. It should be consistent but not all that quick, if it breaks into the high 13s I’d be ecstatic.

One thing I will say now is that I don't think it's possible to duplicate track times on street surfaces no matter what you do. So if you think you'll get a Dragy to see what your car will do at the strip, think again. The exception to that would be if you have a car that doesn't break traction on street surfaces.
