The truth of the matter, though, is that there are MANY MANY Evo owners who can't even come close to driving as well as CubanEvo did. I don't want this fact to be lost on you Cuban Evo. You are by no means a poor driver, and for this being your first time, you did exceptionally well. Believe me, even with around 1000 drag passes over 7 years, I _still_ get butterflies at the line, because it's so exciting. There is no way I did this well when I first drag raced and tried to launch my AWD Talon. Hell, I couldn't even hardly figure out how to stage properly...so embarrassing.

So, you started off on the right foot, and now all you have to do is practice. You _WILL_ improve, and you _WILL_ hit 12s with no additional mods.

Thanks man and trust i will practice next week at the track again.

i did take launch control off iwas just really nervous and got freaked out with the lights on the starting line.

My 1st run was a 12.9 in my 8 at 106 mph. Had Shivladden stage 1+ though. Got it down to 12.2 at 111 mph with practice so it will likely get better.
