Oh are you? You are going to come off the trans brake at or about 4,800 to 5,000rpm's and hope to see a 1.29 60 foot or better?
I want to see that.

I love driving it but it's really the wife's car and she hardly ever uses it. I figured I'd sell it and get her something like the CLK cabriolet. At least she can put the kids in the car.
