Well it was a little warm and humid to get a new personal best in my Ram so I decided to run the car for fun. Really disappointing results, really had to take off like a little old lady or else it'd just kill the tires.
First run was against a CTS-V who also had on paper plates, tried 2000rpm off the line and is was laughable. 2.49 60'

Second pass I went off idle and bogged a bit, then it lit the tires up when I hit 2nd.

Third pass I tried just above idle and slipped the clutch, then hit 2nd a little easier.

Really thought a 345 series tire would hook better but it was still fun to tear up something other than my truck. Planning to get a set of drag slicks for it soon, how does the driveline hold up on these at a dragstrip?
There was also a red 98 GTS that showed up and made a couple passes, April and ?I didn't catch her husbands name, but nice folks and told me about a large car club down in Austin I'm going to look into. Finally, here is a vid of what the truck runs, hopping to get it a little quicker and then put the nitrous on the car and eventually try for 9's.
