Well, Ian did say high 11's. So it would take a skilled driver to actually do that. But this hits on the point that one of my Mopar friends was saying at Sacramento, we get more of the wine and cheese crowd, it's not the cilff or the wind.

No one who has driven the 1/4 mile would say this. A common misconception, it takes skill to put a car down the 1320. Straight line driving is not as easy as you might think, there's a lot to focus on and accomplish in a very short amount of time. There's no recovering from a mistake, if you mess up one aspect, you lost.

Have you driven a car with launch control, traction control, and a flappy paddle transmission? The computer does all that for you. You push a button when the light turns green, keep the wheel pointed straight, foot to the floor (computer will prevent wheel spin) and hit the brakes when you get to the end.

My previous mustang did all that. It still took a tonnn of effort to run a good time because traction control would either allow wheelspin or cut all power and kill your time. Unless the ferrari has a suuuuper advanced tc system (likely) where you can ride it out without losing power or traction

I don't know what the 17 AMG GTS I've driven had? But I know you better turn that **** off if you want to run as fast as the car mags suggest. Maybe the Ferrari has all that **** advanced enough? I doubt it was a manual in ST class.

Roxanne, you don't have to put on the red light!
Can't believe I won the first elimination round, I told the nice lady with the time slips see you next week, and she said you won, these noobies. By the way Vlad, our time slip lady is like, logs hotter than yours
Oh, and here is a Z06 to compare with the yellow one.
And a nice view of the track, we we're shut down while I was up next for a few minutes.
Also, I did a thing, but my filter chokes, but my intake temps were down 15-20°.
I will probably be faster next week with a proper air filter.

Ok, seriously considered not posting today, perhaps I should keep my weekly content to myself. That BS in Emilio's thread bugs me, what the frick happened to this place? I guess we are all supposed to be "PC"(piece of crap.)
I want real direct personal experience, or don't comment, go suggest stupid **** in meet and greet. Seriously. If the bitch mods want to demerit or ban me have at it, I can count the real mods on one hand. I guess generation wuss has come to fruition, what a shame.
Might be my last post.
A mediocre day, but I had tons of fun.
This insane AMG was running 10's riding the brakes at the 1000' mark.
Can't believe he cut the hood of that car.
