But from what you are saying,you really need the Driver Mod more than Tuning...

This was before any exhaust mods and retune. Oh, and the name's GTObsessor.

Only excuses you didnt mention were that you didnt go to the bathroom first and your car was dirty!

One of me @ Irwindale, the other of a bunch of cars that have at least 3x the hp you have at Vegas, and guess what, they're not spinning!

Wow you're a bright one. The first clip is from TnT - NOT MM. Oh yah... might be the SLICKS they're running that do just a LIL to make em hook... I wonder what they'd do if they had 275's on the back? What do you think? I've raced LVMS TnT once durring summer and it was great track prep (just got the car) - bogged every single time off the line that night. Like I said before, my run was made on a MM night and even after babying it out of the hole, I floored it, tires went into smoke, lifted, then finally hooked (this was the senario of one of my runs there). TnT and MM track prep are nothing alike at LVMS.

If my stock posi can take the abuse I've thrown at it, yours can take one hard launch. Suck it up. If you don't like the MM track prep, then go to an actual event....oh wait...I forgot, you're just a test-n-tuner.

I know how it was and I don't need to prove **** to you - I know exactly what the conditions were and how bad I am at driving - that still has nothing to do with how strong the car is running which is the issue that was first at hand then you turned into an all-out personal attack on me because I support someone you and your buddies have a grudge against for god only knows why.
No offense to anyone else but....I hate it when test-n-tuners whine about track conditions and think they know what they're talking about. You're racing on a track w/ street tire cars and minimal track prep. What do you expect?!
Try again jr
