in my humble opinion (knowing that i will never have a car anywhere near as fast as his) he needs to either throw some sort of automatic racing transmission in that thing or start taking lessons from john force. but afaik track times arent his biggest priority

Who wants to put out 1800rwhp and not be concerned about track times? Is it going to be the ultimate dyno queen? lol

Or is this going in his daily driver?

It is a street car.

I'm happy running a low 9s or high 8s on a drag radial. And keeping my A/C cruise control ect.
I 'm not into the hall track car thing.
I have more fun in the street.
