My car is quicker with a full load of grocories in the trunk, lol

Listen to this guys A few days ago I did a G-tech pro run and got 14.60 @103.1 . So today I wanted to see how my car would do with a full load of groceries. Keep in mind I was on the same stretch of road and all .. Today I did a 14.32 @ 105.4 MPH Is it the groceries? lol


Since I fixed my cars problem I nocked off a good 4 tenths off my 0-60 and 3 tenths of my 1/4 mile(ya I know it's a G-tech but still). Anyhow my car really screams now. I raced my friend 13 second stang like I always do and I actually pulled on him from a roll. He use to always pull on me by atleast a car in 3rd too!

Funny

But believeable. The extra weight in the trunk causes the rear of your car to squat down more. This tilts the G-tech "up" more and then it thinks you're accelerating harder than you really are because of the squat. Hence, the "faster" times. hehe

I'd believe it if it was to the degree of sadler's (above sig pic). That thing looks like a thuggstah impala makin it's way to the graveyard after a sting with 5 250lb bodies in the trunk.

I think the max just likes groceries in the trunk a little better, so it opens up from 99.5% to 100%. Oh, wait, that feature is only avail on the GLEs...

(Man, I'm gonna get it from everyone after that)

Nice times, ethan.
