Default Went to the track yet again

Ran a 10.66@129 with a 1.62 60' after that I let a buddy/vengeance employee drive it. He had a crappy 2.01 60' but ran a 11.01@135. He flat footed the thing the whole way down the track. I really need to get more seat time in the car and just get used to keeping my foot in it between shifts. It was roughly 88-90* out and DA was 3200 during these runs. The 135 was run only 15 mins after the run in the video when I did the 10.66.

Nice. You'll get that rig in the 9s with better air once you're used to launching it and shifting it.

That's what I am thinking. Its interesting to launch because I can't use Fartpipes method. I've tried it and it instantaneously roasts my clutch. I make too much torque down low to shock the system like that. I think for now I am going to retire my drag radials and mount up the road racing slicks. Time to throw some twisties at her.

Given he beat the GTR in the quarter, I bet he'd crush him on a roll.

Haven't roll raced any of them yet, but they are picking up 25mph on the back half to my 30mph. The only advantage they have is the dig and as we can see they aren't fairing too well in that department.

The game depends on the speed you start on and how fast you shift
Good luck ....

Less than you would think. If you look he picks up more mph in the 1/8 but then I start moving on the back half.
