quote Fast Tiger:

I know there are more than just a couple of tigers that have raced 1/4mile or 1/8 mile how about your times and what mods have been done to it.

In 1966 my stock Tiger did the quarter in 16.17 seconds around 86 mph. I always won my class, J Stock, but was a couple of seconds off the national record. Another fellow had a station wagon, that was in J Stock Automatic, that ran just under the national record. He was much faster than I and I had to spot him in the run-offs. It was still fun for a 17 year old.

Later I added a stock ’68 Mustang 302 4bbl. With no other changes it turned in the high 14s and mid 90s. This was all with 2:88 gears, open differential, and close ratio trans.
