Bengel, I just saw ICHONS ride at Carlisle last weekend. His red and black paint work draws you in for a closer look and the Lambo doors "seal the deal".
If memory servers, I do believe he was using a "non-stock" tire that may have had a better compound for better bite at the drags. Also, It looked to me like it may have been a slightly smaller diameter, and if it really was, then that would effectively lower his gear ratio and quite possibly give him all the "edge" he needs to break into the 12's.
I wish he could bring it to the Mopar Nats in Columbus. A 12 sec, Crossfire would really wake up the crowd there.
