Now I don't feel quite so bad about not racing him since it would have been ME who ate HIS dust
(0 - 60 in 4.7 seconds- really?!).......
Be that as it may, when the next such opportunity arises (after I've got at least 1K miles on the clock), is it better to start from the hole with the TC turned on or off (automatic tranny, bone stock)?

That Chrysler 300 SRT 8 is one bitchin' looking car by the way- but seeing as how it costs $43, 350, the Mustang GT is a MUCH better deal (and most likely more fun to drive, and much better looking too IMHO)!

You race with the TC off. If I were you, I'd probably wait till I get the first oil change in the car before I start really rompin on it.
