13.66 @ 101.89 with a 1.98 60 foot. I was hoping for a little better, but it is what it is. The trap seems 2-3 mph off to me. Trans didn't want to shift into 3rd on two of the passes so not sure what the deal is with that. Seems like it may have been some kind of limp mode from powerbraking too long?

13.6 is good. What did the G8 Gt run? Do you remember the trap
Couple shots from the dragstrip this past Saturday:
Just prior to getting busted up by a G8 GT
Is that Edgewater Dragway out in Cleves, OH? I used to spend almost every Friday night and weekend for T&T out there or at Tristate dragway over the Summers back in the '90's. Lots of good times back then!

It sure is! Small world. I actually prefer Tri State, but they've been closed for a few years now. The only other local track is Kilkare which is a hike for me.

He went 12.62 @ 111 with a 1.96 60 foot. I'm assuming it was a bad pass for him because he had a minimum of exhaust and a cam and was on some baller slicks and skinnies. I would have guessed he would have done much better. I saw him load the car up on a trailer and head home after that. Didn't seem like anything broke when he was driving around me lol.

Small world indeed! Sorry to hear that Tri-State closed. That was my favorite local track as well since the crowds for test & tune were always much smaller than at Edgewater, so you could get more runs in. I lived on the North side of town up in West Chester and Mason for years so Kilkare wasn't too far of a haul for me, but most of the buddies I raced with either lived on the West side of town or in Northern KY so we usually went to Edgewater or Tri-State. I also used to Autocross over by KI and up at Wright-Patterson AFB... not sure if they still do that in either of those locations or not.

My car cuts power during full throttle 1-2 and 2-3 shifts even with the OEM traction control switch turned off. This may be your issue as well. The only way to fully defeat the OEM traction control/stability control is to put a toggle switch on the Bosch module that's behind the shifter in the center console. This is basically a Yaw/G sensor that's still active even with the OEM traction control switch turned off. It's a fairly easy modification and you can hide the switch away inside the center console then when you want to fully defeat the traction control just flip the switch and then just flip it back at the end of your track day. There's a couple nice DIY's on here for performing this mod... Here's a link to one of them.

Ha, even smaller world. I'm actually from West Chester and my parents still live there. I go to church in Mason and just got married there. I live in Milford.

Not a huge mod this time around but a couple of nice cosmetic changes have happened, I installed the Diode Dynamics Tail for turn modules and also debadged my whip. I still need to cut, wax, & polish so the very faint lines in paint disappear. Little steps. Oh yeah, I updated to the black license plates. as well and love the way they stand out over the white plates I had before.
What's cooking good looking?
