Re: Jeep VS others
For 1/8 mile drags, that AWD is definitely a good thing. Most of the
results are what I might expect, but the 350z should beat the Jeep--probably
lit up the tires too much, and I suspect the WRX guy bogged and didn't get
the turbo spooled up very well. In all, you have an interesting list of
runs.

Re: Jeep VS others
For 1/8 mile drags, that AWD is definitely a good thing. Most of the
results are what I might expect, but the 350z should beat the Jeep--probably
lit up the tires too much, and I suspect the WRX guy bogged and didn't get
the turbo spooled up very well. In all, you have an interesting list of
runs.
