It's like launching my old Typhoon.
H.K. Phooey - Our cars will push you out. I've redlighted twice because of it. Once you rev enough for the supercharger to kick in and the converter locks up, the left foot can't hold it back. I tried something new yesterday, I rolled in and staged the first light (beam), then power braked and revved and loaded the converter and it pushed me into the second light and held just long enough to get to the third yellow. I could hear my back tires literally chirping me forward. That is with DR's, so I had good traction. It's going to come down to you feeling comfortable with your car. Unfortunately it takes alot of runs to do that. Even if you had the track to yourself, by the time you let your car cool down and have the perfect day, 3 runs is about most you can get quality runs. The rest is heatsoak, bad launches, bad lights, tire pressure questions, etc... Just have fun while your out there.
