not the same, trust me. He has a 14 inch wide tire, which i believe is part of the issue . i went 8.78 at 153 mph and almost lost it due to "radial rock" like the author discribes. 3000 lb Dart. The car ocilates side to side violently. And when guys watching your 8.78 run ask why you didn't lift, it is very serious!
