So it's all gonna come down to the launch, huh? If so, Mantis, don't be spraying until second gear 'cause all you will be doing is wasting rubber with that FWD off the line!

Mantis, all you have to do is lower your tire pressure to 23psi, & do not spray until 3k rpm in 1st.
BTW: From one 75 shot CL-S with I/H/E to another, I think that the STi might still beat you if InfernoTLS knows how to launch it.
You must post a video for this one.

Remember, this is a drag race, the first one across the line wins . . so it's anyone's guess as both drivers are under 1st time situations.
Mantis first time with 75 shot
and
Inferno first time with STi
first time with real power for both . . . who will it be now?
The factory race car, or the modified coupe?

No way. Every 2 weeks we have an "all employee mtg" which with 30 employees means that you need to go. I'd be up for boobies though. Car cleaning in North Andover and then mosey to the Cabaret? Sat or Sun...warn me so I can warn my girl!

My thought on the matter is this:
If Mantis is running under a 13.75 he stands a very good chance of winning unless Inferno does a real STi drag launch (5k rpms, let out the clutch and go). STis aren't made for drag racing and you really have to launch 'em like you hate 'em but it's the only way t'get the numbers the magazines report...
Of course, the STi would own the CL-S up and down in the twisties. The STi isn't really a drag racer, after all...

I have to PM infernoTLS for some tid bits about launching STi.. All I can say is that the STi is a god damn cannon off the line and also from every gear from a roll.. Good luck guys..
I love both cars so I will be neutral.. Go STi, Go CL...

Oh yeah, and make sure your roomie has his juice filled--wouldn't want to have him starting all this smack talk and then pulling a no-show. Win, loose, or draw, I will be there!

I am going to New hampshire Internatkional Speedway tommorow for the Audi quattro challenge....which is a glorified small autoX with some rides on the open course track with some Pros at the end. It's a fun free day that Audi pays for. So I am busy all day tommorow. i know Fred works tommorow, so that's why we are hitting Epping tonight. I know we are up for something after Epping tonight. I'm not sure where we stand for tommorow.

Ok, the race is on! 
Mantis found a place to get loader, er I mean his N2O tank filled up.
And the video guy says he's ready to film.
The only bad news is that its 91 degrees here in the DFW area.
Since this is a late night event don't expect results until after 12noon or later.
