[Riptide]

Yep that pussy auto absolutely is. At least on the launch. I don't think my shifts are really costing me that much judging by our trap speeds last time I went out and Mishri was there. If I had the same 60' he'd probably only have me beat by a couple tenths or so. Not to bad when you consider his mod advantage. But if I can't drive my car who really cares? Doesn't matter then.

I understand shallow staging and I try to be careful when I push into the 2nd beam. But much like launching this manual car, there is very little margin for error there.

I'll just spell this out. Mishri's car has the same tires as I do. And more mods (gears, udp,cmdp). 2.1 60' times. Obviously the 2.4 I'm getting is god awful. Clearly I'm not getting the results that these pirellis are capable of due to lack of skill on my part. Ofcourse I could buy DR and it might help me out here. But the point is he doesn't need them to do better than I have. In that sense yes it is a band aid in this situation. Did you seriously think I mean that drag radials are a band aid for some guy with 500whp and a twin screw? I'm not anywhere near as ignorant as you seem to think dude. You're just reading to much into some of what I'm stating here. Maybe that works both ways.
