I guess we have to redo this...
My 2IS has new skins and LSD since that video. On hard launch with nannies off, its hard to compete with ECM control. I should do better tho with two tires connected but my intuition says the computers play well together making its launch pretty admirable for the era vs turned off.

FWIW in previous video it had 98 octane meth free fuel for 200 miles and was pretty happy.
