One wheel peel... guess the VLSD didn't know what to do with that power

The ones where it's an all-day thing you pay like $1000 and you get to drive exotics etc.

I'd rather do 1 on 1 instruction in my car. Lard launching my old sentra was easy (plus I wasn't worried about breaking it). Hard launching this thing - makes me nervous. I've only done it once or twice and I always say a short prayer before I do it. I'd just like to be more comfortable I guess.

I'll shop around. Maybe if enough people get interested, we could do a group buy thing.
Bear in mind I'm still relatively new to the world of sports cars.

10s are nothing.

a 10 second 1/4 is more impressive than I think most people realize. Takes quite a bit of work, power, parts, and practice.
