Badass burnout + no video of the ensuing run = fail. Somebody must have run in the 15's.

Straight line is a waste of time... it's time to get that car onto a roadcourse.

I haven't grown enough cojones to drive on a roadcourse without ABS or any sort of traction control especially with my brakes juddering like a b!tch. Took it to some mountainous roads last week and pushed the car a little, brake judder going downhill was no fun.

The car is very well balanced in stock form... you may have gone up in weight over the nose (how much did that weigh, BTW?). Good brakes are essential ont he street anyway, especially with that much power. Fix 'em up, get on the roadcourse - you will then be addicted to track events. Best thing ever!

No smoky burnouts, no care.
