Thanks Stacy. It was too freaking hot. That's why we named it "Hot as Hell". Are you getting anymore seat time in the GT2? Look forward to running you in October.

Got ya. Weird, sounded like it was bogging (and the '60's indicate that). Regardless, those trap times are moving out.

Not bogging. I'm rolling out soft just trying for trap speed, not et. I've got my 10.6. I'm good with that.

how do you roll out soft with a 5000 to 6000 rpm launch? are you slipping the clutch or dropping the hammer?

I slip it the best I can. This clutch is either on or off. So launching at 2-3k is pointless.

+1 the on and off clutches are the best for the head snap feel. The pasangers always look at me Like WRF! LOL

too bad no one video taped you doing the run. I bet it sounded nice from the outside. I've often considered piping my exhaust to just in front of the doors so I can hear it better.

Those are still really good trap speeds given the heat and traction issues!

Car must be significantly faster than last TI.
