I have a secret way to get on 80.... lol That time U saw me driving over there by the movie's, I take that all the way out to 80 and where very far up past most of the traffic

when i first moved up there i had never even heard of bloomingdale or butler or any of that i was bored one night, so i went for a drive with the gf, figured i'd see what was up that road if i kept going. we're driving, and i'm like "wtf, was that a llama crossing sign we just passed?"

I don't know...it all depends. I don't know about island, but etown is a lot stickier than the street. I actually went WOT in 1st gear at around 19-20 lbs of boost. And don't be nervous. By your third run you should have everything down and put down good times

Yea, the lights don't start your time, the actuall movement of the car starts the time.

yep!! i'm nervous to launch hard, so expect some bad 60's but with the ingalls and prothane mounts, and the steelies it doesn't really hop so much anymore, just kinda spins now.

yea, i'm just lately getting used to giving it a decent amount of gas in 1st, and letting the tires chirp a little. before the mouns i would never spin in 1st, it just felt like the whole front out would fall apart

Yea, one night my buddy got 15 runs in, and he got there at like 7.

Id say with letting her cool down a bit inbetween... 6-10

And there are always alot of tuner cars there with a mix of some V8's (most are rustangs)
