couldn't foot brake it over 1200 rpm due to from what i've read torque management kicking in. this is with traction control turned off. that's no fun. could probably crack a 12 if i could launch harder. i never needed to burn out the tires because of the 2.73 gears and tires.

A convertor and a tune will get you in the 12's easily.

^^ I agree...

Pretty mild looking start off the line - it's debatable if one could even characterize that start as a red light to red light race.

Lucky me the abuse mode kicks in while trying to foot brake above 1200 rpms. So no good launches until I can tune it out

Very cool, Yeah gotta get that launch figured out should be doing a lot better with your engine mods and all. But at least you have a base line to start with. Looks like pretty consistent runs though over all.

Speed World is not the track in July to try to break into the 12's
I would wait until oct or november and run it when the air is cold.
If you flash the converter instead of leaning on the car it will have a better 60 foot ,stage shallow so you can get a better mile per hour.

I do stage shallow. Other than waiting for cold air, giving it another go and working around the torque management I might get closer to a 12. I tried flashing the converter. Got better 60' foot braking as much as I could.
