So, there's this stretch of road that's give or take 10 feet from a perfect 1/4 mile run (with a slight bend in the middle. For you MSP folks, hw 55 east (well, south) at 42nd street. Just before you hit the tunnel, it's 1/4 mile.
Light turned green and I rolled outa the hole in 2nd with the RPM's on the low side (1200rpm-ish?). Little to much peddle, not enough RPM, lotsa smoke. once she spooled grabbed 3rd, 4th, 5th with a chirp and 6th I didn't hear or feel chirp to get an idea of shifting speed. I didn't bother to pull back from WOT a little to minimize the emissions from backing down my power.
I figured it was a almost good 2 seconds putzing around getting though the intersection but she pulled hard and consistent after that.
Thinking of making another run next time at that light with a good 4x4 launch to gain them 2 seconds back
