Amazing times. 👍💥🇺🇸

How's the chassis holding up and how does it feel on launch? I'm guessing some of that 4100lbs is frame stiffening? Please post the details for us vert owners who want to tighten up their car.

Wow. No jacking rails or k braces on the body?

That run was nice and smooth. The infotainment gouges that didisplay instead of the Sync is cool. Never seen that before.

Nice run!

My convertible has never had issues leaving either. I do have frame rails and BMR 010 running Nitto R2s. Maybe we have a little more weight over the rear or the small amount of less rigidity helps?

My question though is did you get the boot from the track? Every time I go I get booted after 1 run or they remember me and don’t let me run at all. I have to go on track rentals where the tech is much less thorough shall we say.

There’s 3 tracks each about 2 hours each from me and none of them like convertibles running.

Last year at Lapeer I got one pass down the track, then they tried to say I couldn't run the quarter-mile anymore, just the Eighth Mile. went back to the same track this year made four back-to-back passes and no one said shit. I guess it just depends on the mood that they're in🤣

Nice!

That’s good. Maybe this tech guy was much friendlier... or they had bigger issues to deal with at the track lol.

Nice run. How did you get the infotainment screen to display that info?

Very respectable for a Roush.

Just curious why it is short shifting 6th
That's in the Roush tune, I made those passes in drag mode, car in drive just letting it do the shifting, custom tune will take care of that, or manual shift with the paddle shifters take your pick
