Absolutely right. I'm having trouble with traction. I'm loading the converter and lifting off the brake to get moving and then rolling quick as I dare on the throttle. The second pass I was spinning a bit because I came off the brake at around 2,000 rpms. All the other passes I left at around 1,500. I can't say for sure because I was watching the tree but the car wasn't overpowering the brakes like it tried to do on the 2nd. pass. 12's are right there and I know the car can do it. The question is can I? I'm going to do my best to get into the 12's the next time I'm at the track. So far the best results have come from 30lbs. in the driver's rear and 28lbs in the passenger. Next time I may try going lower in the Michelins. I can tell you 36lbs was the slippery kiss of death. You what I really love? After a 13 flat pass I can put on the radio with the air running and mosey home like nobodys business. What a great car!
