Default XT Raced At Calder Last Night
Ran 4x 10.7 and 1x10.6@129mph. Still got more in it. But very happy first time off the trailer on pump gas.

Awesome effort.

Just imagine how much quicker she will run when you harness all that 650hp.

Low 10s to high 9s at mid 130s are just around the corner Im sure.

Only reason while they were driving it on the street was that they had a photo shoot today for Extreme Street Magazine. Driving it at the DRAGS isnt thrashing it is it .

I'd say trolling without even an introduction is poor manners actually.
