Yeah, mlee fixed that on the spreadsheet but hasn't updated the screen shot yet. My previous bolt-on (DRs) time is shown as a A10 but I've PM'd mlee about it. This update should show up as M6.

No I haven't. How can there be an exact right speed? Too many variables to consider at any given point in time.

She is a sexy beast for sure. The potential is there for a low-mid 10-sec car without power adders but you'll have to void the warranty to bring it out.

These Hoosiers are 9/10" shorter than my stock fronts. No complaints of any kind from any automated systems.
Yup, the effective gear ratio has me at the top of 4th gear when I cross the 1/4 mile gate. With stock Goodyears I'm only mid-4th by that point. I'm pretty sure I'd be doing a lot more spinning on the launch if I went with a much narrower tread, though. The meat on the 12" wide slicks helps a lot - too much actually. I'm still seeing it bog down if it hooks right away. Next trip I'll be trying for moderate wheel slip at launch and no wheel slip on the upshifts. If I can do that on a cool day with no wind and no mistakes, I'll be at 1.7 60' and maybe 11.2 ET.
