All digs too just to keep the haters quiet.

I think I could have taken the ESS Supercharged M3 if I didn't let out and get back in it right at the start.

I realized too during this event that my car has PERFECT gearing for 1/2 mile racing at my altitude. I'm right at the limiter in 4th gear with my rev limit at 6500rpm crossing the traps.

Solid. Everyone used to laugh at me when I had my SS/TC, it was funny watching their cheeks go red after your annihilated them.

Good runs though man.

I don't need no ZFR. Altitude is 6000ft where this was at. DA calculation was over 9000ft for most runs. If you aren't turbo and the DA is 9000+ft, you're fucked.

Thanks guys!

I got interviewed by the local Colorado Springs paper even: Competition, allure of famed vehicles draw drivers and fans to new event | gazette.com

Ignore the GTR comment, I said "Gallardo", but the guy obviously got confused. They screwed up some other details of the article anyway -- if you goto the pictures there's one of an LFA that they labeled a Ford GT.

Not saying my car is invincible, but I've had it since about 25,000 miles and I can't seem to break it. It has 78,000 on it currently. I drove the **** out of it on GM Stage 1 from 25,000 to about 42,000 - then I got tuned and have been running it that way since. I NLS it, usually 2-3 and 3-4, but I have been known to NLS 1-2 on drag radials. I switch from E85 to 91 in the winter. It gets fresh extended performance Mobil 1 5w30 every 2500 miles or so. Seafoamed before each oil change also. It gets new plugs every 20k miles. It's on it's 3rd change of transmission fluid also.

It sees 25psi atleast once a day, 7 days a week usually. However, I NEVER take it into boost until coolant temp is over 190. It also never sees more than 2500rpm until warm either. I don't run it hard back to back to back. I don't do WOT pulls from low down in high gears either, always atleast above 3000rpm or higher. It uses no oil between oil changes, doesn't smoke, doesn't miss ever.

I would venture a guess that this car, while in my possession, has seen over 500 pulls on the street and over 80 pulls on the track. How it isn't fucked up is beyond me. *Knock on wood*
