As you can see, we were dealing with "first time at the dragstip" issues, getting the suspension dialed in, slowly increasing the shift rpm, rev limiter, etc. It was running 9.5s at 142+ mph, and I wasn't even doing full-throttle passes, with a LOT of room left to go with the revs, etc. I expect to see an 8-second time slip my next time out.. so long as we get that suspension dialed in. As addictive as the feeling of the nose climbing skyward is, I want to be certain that the car is going straight up and straight down every time before I start really launching hard and staying hard on the throttle the whole way. Good Lord, I love this car.
