so to run 9.99999999999999999 you need to run 300 shot gut your car...huge slicks and th400? We can go all day, I suggest we dont, esp right before lvd people. Read the tuning forums....open loop is great for drag cars not street cars...the last open loop vette I saw was driving like a hunk of **** and the oil smelled like 94 octane not oil. If you tune a 400hp camaro in open loop then your a moron..PERIOD

bad, have you ever had a race car? if not, you cant say you loose enjoyment. let me tell you, when that t brake comes up and your eyes hit the back of your skull from the 700+ rwhp tossing your car and your head never once comes off the seat even if you try, let me tell you, It is enjoyable. trust me.
they are just different types of enjoyment for different people.

Mike, your a luck SOB. lol
