P-zeros are pretty damn sticky, when its warm, 100 degree plus even more so.

I jumped on some drag radials yesterday at 70 mph, and when I got to full boost and 80-85, they spun pretty hard, I slammed into the rev limiter and had to short shift...my builder was like... There seemed to be quite a bit of that last night at the track, when Brandi rolled out to a 2.55 60', and still ran a 130 mph trap speed... Easy off the line and then give her the bit...

I can make it to biffs, though not this coming weekend... I laughed my butt off tonight, there was a guy looking at my car, and he asked about it. I told him it was stock other than a CAI and cat back... He rambled for a while about this and that and asked how much power it had... I handed him my dyno sheet folded up and he said oh I can read that...

he was calling and then had a friend come over and look... They were both calling and then I explained that it was a stroker 427... and they said that still didn't explain the 793 HP and 822 Tq... so I pointed out the twins and they were like ...
