that's right... i have a powerbox in the car... the more i "smoke" , the more my 0-60 time..... Best times are with a bit spinning at launch but goose the pedal to get grip as soon as possible.... It's simple i think , there's just room to play in 1ste gear under let's say 3000 rev's... once above you have the torque and HP , so you need grip... 
not impressed Norbert. too bad you couldn`t show them something worth while. i need to find a desolate stretch of road like that. i live in grid lock man.
Not terribly impressive - As they say here in NASCAR land - keep the foot down until you see the ambulance lights.....
Tire smoke isn't the fastest way 0-60, but who cares! Goodyear will make more...

Geez nothing exciting going on there. No good burn outs, no high revs, no good looking scantilly clad women. What a sad day to race cars. But then again you did say this wasn't a Vette sponsered event huh....!
Thanks for posting this up Norbert! I still liked seeing the cars anyway.
