Just looking for any helpful tips to reduce the embarrassment.
Will a CAI and tuner level the playing field a bit?
Did a practice run today on a road near my house. Got a pretty good launch, got the tires to chirp after every shift through 4th. Backed off at 90mph due to a residential area rapidly approaching. These cars pull hard, just too damn heavy. That's ok though, I didn't buy it to blister the pavement, but it is the best looking car made today..by far.
Repeat after me MICKEY THOMPSON Drag Radials set at 18psi on 17" rims(6sec-2nd gear burn out) 3-3500 launch,CAI and tune (raise your rev limiter too),lighten your car as much as you can IE gas,spare tire,keep your engine cold-dont hot lap,pull all your crap out if the car.Hit up 10secdodge for some of his videos to see how to get a Challenger down the track............ BTW good looking cars dont look good in a rear view mirror.
