Tires and drivetrain don't really do a whole lot for drags. 4wd or standard tires will certainly give you a little leap off the line over 2wd/per, but if the cars aren't really close otherwise--like here--it's not going to make up the difference. Usually you're better off with just a better drag car, especially for longer drags. And the top speed difference here is pretty negligible and probably wouldn't even make the difference on test bowl.

It's definitely not, but with the conditions combined with the drive type, the tyres, the better 0-60, *and* the higher top speed I felt pretty confident for a second there.

That's not really a dragster you're using.

I knew the Pescarolo was good but I was pretty sure I had this one.
