Cool video, thanks for sharing. Those were some good launches on street tires. Did you apply the parking brake to do a burnout?

GXPmattyjGXP

yup lol put the e brake on floor it when you feel it go release the e brake then you dont get flat spots lol

If i may make a comment... i noticed in the video's that you are keeping it in drive the whole time.... When i go to track i keep it in Drive till the 1-2 shift them slip the gear selector down into manual mode... This keeps the car from doing the early up shift into 3rd.. Which i noticed on your video's happens just shy of the end of the track.. so instead of a wasted shift at 92 mph you keep it in second (im my car is 102mph) might just help your times out a bit.. You have done that before but i thought i would through that out there. and good launches

GXPmattyjGXP

@panther...thanks for the advice i tried it the first run but i lost 3mph... i think it might be the air... so next time im going to do it on a test and tune night where its cool er so i can see the difference thanks tho

@sleepy just a cai and drag radials...dont wanna beat on this car too bad....lol id rather get a rwd and trailer it so if i break it dont have to worry about it... just need the money lol
