He has been 10.3/136MPH at 60% throttle.

Beaver springs is tricky to get down the track under 10.0

I drove my 6 speed with 414 HP into the 10's.
I'de have to think with 200 more HP and an auto, I can cut a second off my time...
I only had the car out twice, I'm already ahead of schedule in my book...
