Personal Best!

20.1 @ 65 with a 3.0 60'

Well, for the tracer that is. Pretty much amazing.

This is a picture of a 13 second mustang vs. the tracer. The tracer ran an 18.9@70 this run

lol more like a 1.2 second, but yeah. I ran the 20.1 because the stupid thing shifted on me for no reason. I was just flooring it in "low" and all of a sudden it shifted. I had to pick up my foot and floor it again and then it downshifted and went This quote from wikipedia says it best:

Spig ran the 18.9 and another person ran a 19.1 iirc. So yeah, far from consistent. The car is basically the ****tiest thing you can imagine.
Here it is in all its glory:

hahah. My freind got to run his 1985 hyundai pony 1500GLS down the track once, and only once lol. I think it ran 22.8@57 or something awful like that lol god that thing was soooo funny to see down the track. unforuntantley that was the last and final run it ever made down the track, he wrote it off the day after trying to drift in it lol.

nice improvement though haha
