Sunday afternoon drive....
Well, went out for a little Sunday drive yesterday.... to the dragstrip! Back in my natural element lol!! I got to make 3 passes, and it had been so long it took a couple of times to get used to it again. Not to mention the tune that Dan put in my car completely transformed it into a complete animal at lower rpms. First pass I actually had to get off the gas, gather my wits, and get back under power. The second pass I got a little better, and the third pass was the best... ran a 7.09 @ 108mph , which would translate into 10.70s @ 135 in the 1/4 mile. That was pedaling the gas in first gear and not powershifting the 1-2 shift due to wheelspin. So it could have gone a lot faster, these passes were taking it pretty easy out of the hole. On a good day with traction, 10.30s at 138-139 mph are possible. Anyway, here are the videos, thought I would post them up and redeem myself from VIR lol!!!

HAAHAHAHAA!!! That was so wrong!!
But in all seriousness, I got to listen to yours a little the other day on the way to and from VIR. It was really pretty tame but had a nice rumble to it.
