Thanks "i'mslow." I look forward to getting together with you guys on the next meet. I tried Bradenton that Tursday but it got rained out again. I'll let you know when I go down again. Maybe we can all go.

I'k going to hold you to that 12.50 et estimate you gave me. If I don't get it, its gunna be your fault.

I'll say, this car launches alot easer than those FWD hondas I had. Talk about clutch control. I've made dozens of passes with them at Bradenton. I cant wait to lauch this STi. It is much easier to launch on the street. The thought has been simply launch as hard as I can without totally droping the clutch. I have read about broken axles on these cars.

BTW, I took on a Z06 last week on SR 60 on the way home. It wasn't pretty. Starting from 90mph, he walked away at about 3 feet per/second on me in 5th and 6th was worse. Oh well, had to try.

It was a Z06... I've raced plenty of "C" s.

I've got the launch down. I just need to go test in now!
