Default Went to the track with the DD

So, not at all what i had expected. First pass i turned all traction and spun terribly through third, I tried peddling but it wasnt overly effective yay for drive by wire..... Second pass I went with sport mode. Hooked and wheel hoped so bad it was the worst. Decided i didnt want to break my DD and quit after that.

What did impress me, first pass next to me was that challenger scat pack. Guy had it exactly one week still had the paper tag. Third pass in the car 11.98 totally stock with 20 inch drag radials

Probably the 8 speed automatic. They should be drag race monsters. That's what we were thinking about trading the Camaro in for.

wow that is impressive from a stock challenger


Those are decent times for a daily driver, I imagine it handles very well too

Can't a H/C/I late model LS1 do that and with 4 speeds in the auto?

Those MazdaSpeed's are quick.. you just need the right tires..
