N.E. Dragway is about 20 minutes from my house, but I've never been there. I guess I've always been worried what happened to Mansour would happen to me. Well, we should plan on having a TT get together next spring and work on it!

I just did the 1/4 mile best time was 11.84 with a 0.06 reaction time sounds right for a stage 4 upgrade ? or I could do better ?

I did 11.66 in when the car was Roock'd with 540HP package in cold street yoko's. Then again, same day, same track, I ran 13.4 with the car sliding all over the place. Its all in the launch. Road racing is where this car shines!

Next time I would advise just dumping the clutch and not reving the car. If it was your first time in weather conditions as your describing that is what I would have done.

True Shank, the launch is of paramount importance. My '87 Turbo Buick (driven by my brother) beat my TT at the street legal drags at Pomona with an 11.9 in the buick versus a 13.1 for my TT. Granted the buick had BFG Drag Radials (275/40 17) and the TT had worn contis.
