Taller gearing, or at least revised gearing. Remember how much the car was bouncing off the limiter in 4th the first 'official' time around? Keep in mind, this is last year's car... and there is no Viper right now.

It's all about picking the right day....if they try it like Nissan, I bet they can knock it down another 5 seconds easy.

Yes, I can't remember a car vid with so much time spent on the limiter (as the ealrier vid that is). I think that he was trying to save the brakes :-P.
