Even the Limited spoiler would help as you could at least have the lift broken up at the rear... running 130mph traps with no spoiler is asking for trouble. Not to mention, immediately after you hit the 120-130 mark, you're going to be hard on the brakes to slow by the turnoff at the end of the track. That will give additional lift to the rear... and once the rear becomes unsettled, it will be a handful at those speeds. Keeping the wing down on a Limited is one thing, as the 1/4 mile trap speeds are just barely into the danger zone (95-100) for creating lift with our cars... You're going to be going 30% faster than that with nothing to disrupt the lift.

I just don't want to read about you destroying your car (or worse) because you were trying to gain that additional tenth of a second.
Shucks - modify the tag frame mounting holes to be strong enough for a drag chute - cable it to the diff. All the kids will marvel at that ......
