I know how you feel. Reminds me when I first picked up my car from Phil Hoefler. He took me for a ride and I could not stop smiling..

Nice car, enjoy!

But as someone with 666HP and NT05R's who is having traction issues in first and second (and probably third, just haven't had the occasion to really do that yet), I just don't get how guys can get any hook with ~1000RWHP. I know you have the controller, which is very cool (wish they had them for S/C's).

And I know some guys go to smaller wheels and larger sidewalls, but damn, my car is already kinda floaty at HWY speeds (vs stock tires) on the NT05R's.

Maybe it is different for guys that live in Texas with 85MPH speed limits and open hwys, but it is hard to find situations where you can use 666 in SoCal, let alone 1K.

Truth is it's nothing but compromises past that power level. It's either worth it or not. You can put a lot more down on a prepped track w a burnout also.

How much power was the car making in that video? DA? Just curious since I'll be running mine in a few weeks.
