not bad for your first time and all, I do great at launching on the street but I am sure my first time at the strip I am going to look horrible haha, alittle different I am sure staring down a tree, having someone next to ya hell bent on not looking to rediculous aswell and people sittin watching and thinking "what, that is a slow car blah blah" not taking in the fact it may be the person first time out haha. I may even write, first timer on my rear window when I go

lol
no it's not like that see most of the people who "test n tune" they are pro's tuning their cars or kids trying to show off. The only thing that made me nervous was trying not to screw up. I didn't want to stall/slide/hop the whole way down. Thankfully i just didn't get the launching down. But that's the thing everyone's like you should have been faster omg i'm like hello...first time at the track with a manual. And as you said it's WAY different then on the street. The track's are prepped, you get some decent grip and you have to time your launches just right. Where as on the street you're at a stop light you just gun it and go lol

They are tested at right at 15's flat quarter but also u have to take a bunch of things into consideration such as driver, weight (gas and driver plus other stuff in the car) and elevation.

Not really considering you'd have to rebuild the motor on a regular basis. lol

They are low-mid 15 second cars.

it was going in the right direction... we were fixing things.. who ever deleted it all should have let it run its course... we were self resolving...
