I'm gonna have to go w/ that, I don't think I was hooking up right. The second
run was a lot of spinning, and I was launching from idle, and not giving it
full gas from the start. The 2nd run I launched from idle, and mashed it, and
spun like a mad man. Hopefully I'll get my new wheels 16X8 and tires 255/50 on
it soon, and that will take care of that launching problem.
Later,
