the trick is going to be figuring out how hot to get the tires. some soft tires turn to butter if you get the too hot. i had some yokahama's that only needed scrubbing then go. others needed a lot of heat. 20 lbs of air, 4000 rpms, and feather it softly. powershift it.
my car is as light as they can be made stock. it WILL be quicker than the cars tested in the magazines. it weighs less than them. i figure 1 mph and .1 quicker than heavier premiums that are powershifted also. non powershifted cars wont count. they will be a lot slower. evan smith will be the benchmark.
