Doesn't have to be consistent, just has to be *predictable*. It can be done, just need a lot of seat time to learn the car's tendencies.

Before I had some gremlins (not the AMC kind) pop up in the Turismo, the thing ran FIVE 13.01's in a row to 1000' at the Combo in the Hills, then a 13.00, then it rained. Next morning, 1000' was 13.02, short-shifting high gear a smidge. A couple of years ago, brought it out of retirement to run the Atco LODRS, and after Billy tweaked on it, won the Perfectly Strange award in the first round, dead-on 0, .004 pkg. That little car can be wicked!
