It seems like it might be a bit difficult to drag a 3100 pound car. Hell, I don't think that I could even drag a civic.

just make sure there is no wheel hop. It will do fine i race mine sometimes and run fast with no problems. Just be sure to shift decently slow and when launching come off the line at around 6000 rpms and feed the clutch out fast but not dropping it. And NO wheel hop or let off the gas asap.

Yup, wheel hop is what breaks parts. I've noticed that my car tends to get wheel hop when the track sprays a lot of VHT at the starting line.

And don't do any crazy donuts. That'll kill your center diff quick.

you must drive a very slow car then let's see getting 1.5 60 foots, 0-100 in 6-7 seconds, beating Vipers and twin turbo porshe's... it's fun to me!
