For most of us it was never a question of power in Dan's car, it was a question of traction!

We couldn't even figure out what tires he was running for sure!

The video reveals he hooked up real good, MUCH better than I expected. AND a higher rpm launch than I expected. Track prep with the sticky stuff proved to be a deciding factor, without a doubt.

I doubt one post "crossbreeder" had a clue about what tires Dan was running, if so, it means his post is BS and he knows nothing about drag racing OR Cobras!
