As good as the vids are, they don't do this thing any justice. Standing behind it at full flight was awesome.

Well its virtually the same motor specs (7hp difference), but the rag is a lot heaver with all the "doof doof" stuff and has a standard ratio gbox.
I reckon probably high 13's or a low 14. Once I get this car soughted out with new rear tyres etc then I will take the Ragtop down the 1/4 as well.

Not too shabby Craig.... Looks like a bit of wheel spin off the line.... Losing time there.... Tough to control with the red mist comes over.... But
I'm sure you know that better than most!!.... What ratios you have in that puppy?.... Have the torque to pull taller tyres?.... You giving up going
around corners?
Whats next?
