That's awesome. What mufflers are you running? Cats?

Hello Red,
I am running the entire stock exhaust minus the cats. I have an ott x-pipe in place of the cats.
Thanks,

Better your tires than mine. Thanks for donating the rubber for our entertainment purposes.
I can't stop playing that clip!
Feckless
. That's a new one for me. What is Feckless, useless? If so, it is certainly not a feckless video.

Jkelly,
Not once I got moving. I began pushing the throttle right before I let off the brake to get going but did not break the tires loose with the brakes. Watch closely and you can see the brake lights go out before I start moving.

No surprise to me, Andy took me for a ride in that car with a different set up, I still sweat when I think about it!

Thanks Guys!

JP,
I had to look at the thesarus for redolent.

Pete,
your car will be faster than my car was when you rode in it.

Abby,
They are 265 35 18 Khumo 712s, pretty worn. I have a set of 265 45 16 BF Goodrich drag radials too. It's very hard to spin those.

Would love to see the slack jawed expression video when performed next to supposedly superior vehicles. Very nice! Whats your 0 to 60 ET now?
