2 Scuffles yesterday...
2 Scuffles yesterday...
First was with a VW R32 on 90-East. Ran from 60-110ish and I was able to pull 4-6 lengths consistently on him several times. He gave the thumbs up and went his way...
Second was against an '03 - '04 Rustang GT with at the least pipes. He tried to jump the light on me and he still lost by 3-4 lengths up until about 80-90.
Third was against a giant bagger harley at another light. I thought the thing was gonna blow up but by the time I hit 75-80 he was 3-4 lengths away. I could still hear him loud and clear though.
One great thing about this car is how well it hooks up. Maybe it's the pilot sports but the thing grabs off the line very well.
Gonna possibly take her to byron dragway this sunday weather permitting...

Re: 2 Scuffles yesterday..
Chi-Town SRT/6,
That excellent 'hook-up' you speak of is probably the ESP kicking in. I presume you are launching without the traction control on. If so, then the ESP is only about 80% reduced in it's intrusion of your launch. It will eventually kick in and keep you from frying the rear tires completely by slightly retarding your timing.
This forces the engine power down, just a bit for a split second or two and let's the rear end 'hook-up'.
Hope that helps.
