Fastest 10bolt stick car

I know I shouldn't even try it, but I don't think budget 9 inch is gonna be ready by the start of racing season. So my question is what is the fastest 10 bolt stick car you have ever seen, and what mod's did they do to the rear? Thank's

V6 cars have broken 10 bolts on the street and they've survived behind big blocks on the drag strip. No matter what you try to do to beef it up, you will still have a tiny ring and pinion. The tiny teeth will always be the weak link.

Drive what you have. If you break it, then decide if upgrading to a 9" or 12 bolt is worth the $3000.

I had mine down into the mid to low 11's getting 1.6x 60' times but with an automatic. When I put a transbrake in my car, I installed a 9" because I knew the 10 bolt wouldn't last.

ya know what, you're right. I'm just not gonna worry about it! I'll pound on it till it breaks and then fix it. I learned a long time ago that cars aren't holy, they break and then you fix them. And if I can get a 1.65 60 ft. with a stick before it breaks I'm sure one of my friends could actually drive one of their street cars home and let me ride the trailer.

Im working on getting my 60" down in the 1.9 and lower range. Ive driven m6's for a long time but never really raced any from a stop. So far with the 3.23's I still have in back im at 13.23@107. That was late last summer. Im going to try and get her in the 12's and and go from there.
