WOOOOOAH..... I just had to change my pants. Close call, my man. Glad you pulled out of that.

 

Yikes.....Great job recovering from that....

 

You would get better traction on the street tires by NOT doing a burnout.

 

i knew i wasn't gonna hook no matter what i did...dead stop launch,
2k, 2.5k, 3k rpm launches, ride the clutch launch you name it, i did it except using DR's. 2nd and 3rd broke loose all day...i was there to have fun unfortunately this happens...don't get me wrong i know exactly what you mean!

 

I went to the strip a few weeks ago, and I had no problems hooking up on my stock Pirelli's. I launched pretty hard too, around 2K...not really feathering the clutch too hard.
Ran a 13.59 with just a CAI and a junky canned tune.

 

Elevation, temperature, and track condition has a lot more to do with lower ETs as well. A poorly kept track will give drag slicks a hard time while a very clean track can allow street tires to grip.

 

really? Good to know

 

Woah.. nice save.

Can you elaborate on exactly how you lost control and what happened? Just trying to learn as much as I can so I don't wreck my car.

 

 

Feather the gas when you're sideways like that, Keeping the gas floored and braking isn't so smart.
