On what car?To run low 12s at crail you either need Mickey Ts or some amount of power (500+) Preferably both.....
Me personally i run toyo 888 on the Honda, and with no diff managed to run a 2.2 60ft
Also crail doesnt rip the sh*t out of your tyres, you need grip for that:haha:
Pretty sure Rore run rainsports when he done his 13.3 years back

a 350 bhp mx5 turbo, graham crane, search it on the crail 1/4 mile times, and 500 bhp
for a low 12? lol a 300 whp starlet with a diff and proper tires would make easy low 12's at crail, and as for the slicks getting ruined at crail, my mate with a yellow turbo ep3 type r took his slicks to crail and u should of seen the state of them after a couple burnouts

FWD vs RWD is a completly different ball game. RWD has alot more grip than our scrabble wagons;)
How many 300 whp FWD cars have you seen run a low 12 at crail? I can only think of 5 cars off the top of my head that have went under 12.5. Allans Corsa, Georges Corsa, Nicks Corsa, Lees Civic and last but not least Daves Almera
All of the above cars are around 500 hp, so a 300hp Starlet better be something really special and have more than a diff and slicks, but please prove me wrong.
What do you expect from super soft drag slicks? to look like new after a couple burn outs?
Anyone that goes to crail will tell you that 300 hp will not give you a low 12 FWD

i comment'd on the tires i said, and said they were good for a low 12 at crail as my mate had used them on his mx5, as for a low 12, thats
a imo prediction, as my ccm built gt, with 280whp and no diff and normal road tires ran a low 13 with a terrible 2.6 ft time, and 117mph, so
a diff and slicks surley get a much better time than a low 13?

Them tyres would do a 10 second car aswell, if it was 4wd. Ignore the MX5 times as its like comparing oranges and apples. Fek all alike.
Terrible 60ft will yeild a higher trap speed also, better 60ft will bring the trap speed down ;)

But if you think its easy, go for it. Ill still line up beside you in my 190 WHP GT :D

Diff and slicks dont make a whole second difference at crail. I wish they did! My own car, i could get 2.2 with no diff and toyo 888. That run got me a 13.0@116
With a diff and slicks the best i managed was 2.1 60ft and a 12.98@117
