Default Taking my Auto to the Strip

I'm taking my 05 Auto to the drag strip at Virginia Motorsports Park March 5th. I'll find out if I can be the first 05 Auto in the 12's. How about it 757GT... You gonna be there?

I'll scan the time slip. Hopefully I wont be disapointed. An auto doesn't need slicks or sticky street tires to launch so if I can 60 foot pretty good I should be in the 12's.

You got it. Me and a couple friends are going up to Ft Eustis to meet a National Guard unit returning from Iraq. We should be cruising right by you. We should have a blast at the track though.

from what i have heard keeping it in D is the fastest and most consistent

EDIT - especially if you had your shift points reflashed

You are correct. Leave it in D and it shifts at 6000 RPM like a pro stock.
