[QUOTE="Mustang4vSVT, post: 11006536, member: 37534"] only 1/8th mile is available near me. Anyhoo....terrible times. Due to traction! Jesus christ I was literally spinning through the entire track! That is no exageration, i would not be suprised if i didnt leave rubber on the finish line. The first two runs were like this and I just about crapped myself. Wasnt too bad where i had to abort until the last run when i kept expecting it to finally hook (even getting on and off the gas) it kept spinning. Getting squirly at 80+ at the finish . This was with advance track OFF. I was running low 9's, pathetic...but again traction. I know the car had more Put it in sport mode....aaand found out you cant do a burnout, lol. Stalled at the line, DOH!. But sport mode yeilded much more control but held the power back a bit too much. If only it was a TAD less "helpfull" id probably muster up something better. Best i did tonight was [B]8.6@85mph with a 2.1 60[/B]' (sport mode). Advance Trac off is scary nuts. I need better tires to have that full control. Im running on the Base GT 18" rims/tires. btw despite being non drag radials, a nice long burnout did infact help. Figure i gathered up some of the rubber the big dog race cars were leaving down. One thing i did not try was with T/C off. I was getting sorta burned out through the day and the lines were getting longer and headed home. Curious if T/C off woulda done better or worse. Sport mode is helpfull BUT still a little too helpfull. Helps with spinning but wont give up all the ponies it seems.... Oh and i was launching off Idle with AdvanceTrac off (still unhelpfull, spins insanely). And slipping it around 3k with SportMode since it would help me out a bit. Tips much appreciated! Im hooked again, its been a while since Ive been to the dragstrip. These cars have some SERIOUS power [/QUOTE]
