    I don't wanna answer for him....but I'm gonna do it anyway.

    No IRS brace or anything to make it "safe" to launch from a dig, so I'm pretty sure he will only go from a roll.

    Do you like to run your z06 from a stop?

    I haven't yet, but I certainly wouldn't be opposed to it.

    It's hard to launch....but there's only one way to learn

    Kinda sucks it has the torque management written into the ECU. I was reading a post by Ranger, saying that the better you launch the car, the more the TM affects it down the run. The better his 60' time was, the worse his quarter mile time was. I can't remember the exact numbers, but I wanna say his 1.7 60' yielded him a 11.5 quarter, but his 1.9s 60' got him an 11.21. Something like that.

    Anyway, my point is....I'm not sure how good the car will run from a dig, but I am certainly interested to try it. It's just a matter of finding a good spot to do it.

    P.S. I prefer to go from a roll, because the videos we make are trying to compare the cars instead of the drivers. We feel that going from a 50mph+ roll, there's not much you can really screw up. Things aren't going to be perfect, but from a roll you eliminate a lot of driver error, and come closer to seeing a matchup of the vehicles involved.

    I don't know about newer Mustangs, but back in the day when I was running my old '85 Vette around the town I grew up in, there were a million Mustangs (mostly fox bodies) around that wanted to race me. NONE of them wanted to go from a dig, all of them wanted to go from a roll. I always wanted to go from a dig in that car, 'cause it launched like mad. But I always had far better traction than any Mustang I raced.
