86 Twin 1/4 pros

-Rwd
-Launching at 4500-6500 on stock axles and clutch doing just fine.
-Power shifting stock trans (flat foot shifting no letting off) works great.
-Stock differential can handle launches but also do stand still burnouts (Two wheel peel)
-Light weight
-Good Aero

Cons

-Power / trq That can be addressed though.
Anything can be modified to be OK (not great but OK) at the strip. Back in the day I used to go up against Pintos, Mavericks and Vegas at St Thomas and nobody in their right mind would say they were pretty good at the strip in their stock form.
