Default 1.3 60's in a manual

Crazy car!! I think it was with street radials as well.

And I thought I was giving my T56 a hard time.

Y'know, even if I could run a 1.39s 60', That would give me a flat 10 second pass.

It would be halfshaft city though

Putting that sort of power to the ground and keeping it in one peice is not a cheap exersize.

I love how progressive it reacts to the launch, no banging and throwing the car violently sideways. It seems to do it easily.

That is one properly setup car.

Yeh totally agree, impressive how it gets off the line. Seemed like it had some sort of launch control system
