Did you send that to G-wiz?  |
1st gear out of the hole is now USELESS. I'm pretty sure I'm going to simply start in 2nd from now on. When I can do a FULL BURNOUT at 50 mph in 2nd gear, grip is a novel concept. Imagine what it's like from a launch in 1st.
BUT, even though I gave up SO MUCH to Rad in the launch, you see how effing quickly I caught him?
As far as "tickling it", YES, you are exactly correct. I only took 2 laps, and on the first lap, I drove it like it was the old car using the throttle MUCH more aggressively, thus causing tail-out conditions everywhere. I told myself to become smooth and use less throttle on the 2nd lap and I went a full 2 seconds faster. I cannot wait to feel this thing at Sebring. In speaking with Rad (road course expert) and telling him I was hitting 150 on the backstretch when the engine was stock, he's surmising that I'll now be between 162-165. Better make sure the brakes are up to the task.
Yes I sent the links to G
