Cool! I'll be heading out there soon. Nice run. And if you had to lose, at least it was to a Mustang. :-)

Next time you go out run a couple to get a baseline then try a run WITHOUT the suspension raised. I had read that the car hesitates a bit when lowering, still don't know if this is a concrete fact but for me at least, I didn't give up anything on the traction end (which doesn't sound like an issue at that track at all), and I immediately picked up 1mph, and ended up running my personal bests with that setup (12.34@114.23, 1.892 60').
Just something worth trying, and turn those side mirrors in!

I think I'm going to hit that sportmatic button twice right after the launch next time to put it in sportmatic II, apparently it makes it shift faster/harder and such.

Yeah, put me next to that Mustang on the street at anything under 50mph and I will destroy him. Take away his slicks and all his power goes up in tiresmoke.
