Will attending the PINK's filming at Texas Motorplex, I had a chance to make several passes down the old 1/4 mile, and let me tell you she ran good. I have the Timing Slips to confirm my time/speed:banasex0r
She consistently ran 14.10's with her best pass being 14.079 @ 96.44 mph.:bouncy: She launched great, ran straight as an arrow. Well, one time she didn't, as I was experimenting with different settings of the "magic button", I launched with Traction Control off, and even with the LSD, she got sideways coming out of the hole, had to let off which led to my worst ET of the night. But for a little 2.0 L motor she really get's out quick, the turbo is almost instant on. I found when staged, launching with the convertor up to stall make for instant turbo upon release. Competitive shift points where smooth.
All in all it was a great experience for the both of us, will do some more soon. Gonna run 1/8 this Thursday nite in Kennedale I think. :thumbsup:
