Awesome times!
Besides the RPM auto, what else do you have again? Head, cam, exhaust? C6 diff?

Cam as well, but still, 1.2 is flat out flying.

I wish he had some vid from last night...I bet it got a good wheelie with a 1.29.

Norm do you put a piece of red tape in the center of your steering wheel?
