now you see why I don't like to comment....everyone has a different approach...and you will develop your own...but all good tips to get you started. I like to play with mine...not an all out "drag car" but a car I like to drag race with once in awhile. I am gearing up to do more with the coupe in 2011, but may back off a bit. I really like both my cars, and even though I like to drive them hard once in awhile, they are still my toys. Don't like to break the toys....good luck with your racing...but, practice is the most important thing you can do...you will keep getting better, and once you peak, then the $$$$$$$$$$$$ start...because now you want to go even faster...lol
