Only pass on tape from Wed. night

Bogging my way to a 1.744 short time.

Out of the hole at 4100 RPM's apparently isn't quite enough.

And it was still rather impressive. If I launch from 4100 all I get is a huge cloud of smoke, and now probably the sound of a torsen rear blowing itself apart.

He redlighted. Pretty badly.
That is a lightly modded Z06. Not my roommates though.

I really was hoping to get footage of my better launches...as I was told I pulled a front tire off the ground.

Re: Only pass on tape from Wed. night

Didn't have a cameraman.
Had to trust a guy that I had just met that day with the camera to just get one pass on tape.

Talking Re: Only pass on tape from Wed. night

You have A sharp ride .And pretty quick too. I love the way it launched.I have not got to see mine run down the track because my wife is the only one I trust and she is still scared to run it.

Re: Only pass on tape from Wed. night

It is a LOW 11 second car at sea level. Probably 10's.
Here...the altitude gives me thin air and really slows the car down.
