Took the Trans Am down to race last night.
Remember, I race at 5800 feet above sea level.
First pass...
Launched from right around 3700 RPM's and took off. Problem is, it was my first time hooking like that, and I got a little excited about it. Ended up launching hard and then smacking the clutch pulling it out of gear. Video of this is kinda funny.

Second pass...
Felt good out of the hole, but this time I was pussyfooting it. Trap speed is down because when I shifted into 4th it got loose. Backed off the throttle 50%.

Third pass...
Looking good. Still in the 1.8xx for short times though. She probably has an 11.6-11.7 in her when I get a good solid driveshaft under her.

Fourth pass...
Launch was nice on this one as well. But I went from 3500 RPM's and it bogged a touch. Came pretty close to pulling a tire.

None of these passes were full on balls to the wall. I was scared for my driveshaft.
I have much more footage than this, but this is all you get for now. http://home.comcast.net/~mrluos/luospass.wmv

Those times are hella great, especially for the altitude.
So, your car, with a better driveshaft, and at sea level, should run 10's all motor? At least, that's my guesstimation.
