The worst thing in any competition is "under-estimating" your opponent. The biggest single factor will be the driver's ability. How good do you think you are?

I've raced a few 392 Scat Pack chargers and got them all from the dig. I go S+ and in S on the shifter. Never used drag strip mode. The car just grabs and goes. Running Kumho Ectsa ps99y tires. They don't catch me up to 120. What's the best way to launch this car?

If you are going by magazine numbers, those Scat Packs generally are around the 4.2 sec to 60 mph range. As for launching your A10, I don't have any recommendations.

I’ll say this… the 4.5 quoted time is very far off. 3.7-3.9 is where the trucks generally go. The launch is perfect every time as well.
I raced mine with my Bullitt. Went from a roll because I knew I would get killed from a dig. Wasn’t until about 80 ish until I started to pull on it. From a dig I don’t think I would recover from just how well the trx launches.
To be fair the manual cars are way slower than the auto. A10 is a much fairer fight

Probably would if this Bonehead could drive. I'm gonna try him. It might cost me, but if I win because he gets a bad hole shot, then I'll not only take the $500, but bust his ego a little
Wasn't the race on friday? Who's ego got busted now? :)

im voting TRX. not because i want you, or a mustang to lose, but i just think itll be easier to get the solid, reliable launch needed to take the truck. i know nothing about your driving skills either though. 1/4 id put my money on you, 1/8 i put it on him. i got creamed from a dig on the strip by an SRT jeep, he was faster in the 1/8th but ran a mid 13 1/4 and i no doubt would have caught him by 1/4. i feel like it would be a similar race against the TRX.
