[QUOTE="Norm Peterson, post: 16402531, member: 193960"] I have no idea how this thread floated toward the top in the SVT newsletter, but anyway . . . Anybody foolish enough to start a GT350 in 3rd gear in a roll race from 30 mph deserves to be humiliated. Perhaps on rematch the speed and gear should be chosen to put the EB at rpms down below where any boost is being made. As to driving a car strongly oriented toward the road course on the street involves a different mentality. Unlike this roll race (or any stoplight challenge) where you're working the car to its fullest, there's no need to be pulling your car's full 1+g capability in the corners when only half that simply walks away from most other cars (IOW, neither you nor the car is breaking a sweat). At 75% you run away and hide, and you still aren't trying very hard. Norm [/QUOTE]
