6. One very accessible 100 pump by me
7. less worry about seals and ethanol drying them out
8. I could get a dyno tune for 100 locally by AMS
9. jvakos' 100 tune killed me at the 1/2 mile event and I knew I had to have his tune
I think bullet #9 was the deciding factor. Lol.

i have a great video from the half mile event of me launching hard against Another 100 tune player and getting him early by about three or four car lengths... then him easily destroying me at the end of the half mile.

OmegaMotorSports is who has done the 1/2 mile events in Illinois that I've been to and they do these all over the US at closed private air fields

161 mph 1/2 mile is moving, especially for a heavy 4 door luxury car, congrats!

Those are fun events, never made it to Rantoul, but had a blast the few years they ran in Monee.

SWEET!!! Congrats but my joy is that until you get your tires to work, I will beat you to 60mph.....but we must let off though, it is unsafe to drive faster than 60mph

Open invite Friday October 8th Great Lakes Dragway, fall shootout. Would like to see more AMG presence here for 1/4 mile racing. If you guys want to go LMK, it's a private track rental through thechicagocargarage.

Very cool thread Peter! Nice to see you now at these numbers.

From my recent disaster on chasing 2.6x 0-60 I wouldn’t necessarily recommend chasing the 2.8 unless you are willing to risk snapping an input/output shaft. No fun and way over rated! 😂

I think high 2.8x and above should be safe. 1.70 60 foot or higher should be safe. I was hitting as low as 1.57 60 foot. A lot of stress.

But again, congrats on your Spartan tune and that $10/gallon gas! 🤣

Cheers
