Look at it this way, its consistant so bracket race it, even though your times are consistant, you'll be put on the trailer every time in a money class if you don't cut good lights, but on the flip side, it is DEFINITLY a 10 sec. car with that MPH hands down, your 60ft. should be in the low to mid. 1.5s, your 1.75s are what the 12 sec. cars are running, so at least you know the car is dead on, now work on your dead on reaction , & then when you least exspect it, you'll be givin that 10 sec. time slip.

Here are a few of my time slips (all right lane), as you can see, i was NEVER on my game lol, look at my 60fts., i should have been in the 1.50 range.

The car is consistent, so bracket racing /index racing is definately an option. Just need a little work on your reaction times and you'll be tough to beat!

Those time slips are just to show Shannon that his car has 10s in it, those times were from 3 yrs. ago in my Duster thats in my sig., my 60fts. sucked too for a high 10 sec. car, it should've been pulling 1.48-1.52s on adverage, that would have been 10.6s @ 123-124 mph, it was an Auto car as well, so that made it much easier, those times were N/A, i was just giving him the low-down that he does INDEED have a 10 sec. car, just needs to get those 60fts. down, but i'm no help there, i can't even get my M6 past a 2.0 with 4.11s & a 26" DR lol.
