mustangs are much better down low from a dig. You will rip a lot of cars out the hole but from a roll it may be a different story
No body wants to race me from a stop because I will beat them But i dont want to race anybody from a roll because I know I dont trap high enough to touch some of these turboed cars.
That explains something to me. A few days ago I raced my friends Evo VIII, and he would race me from a 40 mph roll and he always schooled me by about 1.5 car lengths. But then we went from 10 mph roll and I was only behind by about .5-1 length. I knew we might be dead even if I raced him from a dig, but he didn't want to for some bull**** reason. Something about how his computer will sense stress on the differential so it will put stress on the clutch or something else to relieve the differential.... i dunno. So he wouldn't race from a dig. I always feel like I pull and start way harder from a dig though over a roll.
Thats .5 of a car length. If he revved a little lower in one gear that could've made the differance. Just talk him into going from a dig, if he starts to back out remind him he is awd and call him a p uussy

Yeah dude AWD cars suck from a dig. They always seem to bog down.

umm no awd>all from a dig however hooking up is another issue. If someone knows how to launch in a wrx or evo they will kill any stang all day long.

AWD + torqueless engine = poor launch. Unless you want to replace driveline components all the time. The tires aren't likely to slip, so something has to give.
