No offense man, it may not have felt like it, but that looked like a sunday drive considering the capabilities of that car. Even at that weight, get the suspension a lil more track oriented, get a 2 step or transbrake on it, and get it to hook down the track to stay in the gears, that thing would cut 1.4-1.5 60's or better and go 8s @ 160+ all day long. But, I'm sure you're well aware of this
