So.. something really, really bizarre happened tonight. Still not sure if it was me, or the car, but I am 99.999% sure it was the car..
Basically, I was doing a run on the track - no spray. Sport mode, VDC off, manual shift. Paddle shift, 1-2-3.... 4... and as soon as it hit 4th, it jumped RIGHT into 5th. I've NEVER had this happen before and still am not sure what to think about it. I did a few more runs and was unable to reproduce the behavior and there's no engine/etc lights on in the dash (and this car is pretty finicky when it comes to that).... Just a note.

So tonight I bested my time from last week...
Last week (WITH DR'S!)
Weather: 3:53 PM 69.1 F 33% humidity
This week (WITHOUT DR'S! Stock rims + PS2's, spinning down the track)
Weather: 9:53 PM 80.1 F 69% humidity
So, the short of it is...... the last time I ran, I had the DR's on, it was 11~ degrees cooler, and much lower humidity. This time, I didn't have the DR's on and was spinning down the track past 80 and still ran a 12.441@118.11...
So what did I change to get a better run? More to come........

Considering you have the quickest ET this season thus far, you want to join the Drag competition? You already have a head start on the rest of us and a huge hp advantage.

LED bottle lights
^^ Thanks.
Here's a small "mod" I did earlier tonight, can't decide if it's too "Fast and Furious"
Opinions? I also have white and orange LED's but honestly think the blue looks the best...
