Lets see the convertible drag car setups

I have some slicks and subframe connectors on order. I'm hoping to see some daylight under the drivers side tire next month at the track.
Anyone else have some wheels up pics of there vert 3rd gen?

Re: Lets see the convertible drag car setups

Convertibles are never really popular at the dragstrip.

A roll bar is required for as slow as 13.49 in the 1/4 and you must run with the top up at all speeds.
With a hardtop or T-top car, the roll bar isn't required unto 11.49

It is a nice shade of blue matte. Sort of a blue suede.
