In order to keep my trans alive, I force them to start in 2nd gear. It's easier on parts not having to shift to 2nd gear.
It worked very well in the 11.0 Parts car.
So I figured I do in the Twin Engine. On the street the car hooked so hard it was unreal. The little wheel spin helped launch it hard.
At the strip the 2nd gear launch needed a lot of boost to be effective especially on the rear engine.
I did no burnout for my 2 passes.
1st pass ever in the car with a low boost launch and no spin
10.0 @ 140 mph
With a slow 1.7 60 foot (normally 1.5 on the street)
6.5 sec 1/8 mile @ 110 mph !
Yes 110 mph in 6.5 seconds ! Actual mph was 112 in the GPS performance meter which shows the true speed (more accurate than the track's timers.
It rains for a while and then the track is super slippery and still wet. I attempt a pass...
I was spinning all four till the 1000 feet mark 3/4 way down the track. Felt amazing but lots of spin.
2nd Pass is a 10.02 @ 141 mph !
Incredible considering a still damp/wet track.
