It wore me the Fudge out. If I would have calmed down and ran only one last time instead of 2 I may could have pulled it off.

The difference and mistake I think I made was trying to let traction control do the work. It did get me from 148 to 151 going from 20% to 100% but I think if I had dropped it to 0 and did butter soft launches and modulated till I could WOT it , I would've picked up a few mph. I also wish I could've used my Map 4 but I'm still happy with what happened because now I know. And we're all old enough to know "G.I. Joe" said "Knowing is half the battle. "

Don't feel bad. I missed one shift from 2nd to 3rd and another one I went from 2nd to 5th. I have no idea how I did that. LOL I still ran a 152mph though. You asked me earlier in the day and I told you I just drove the car with no traction control. I had to think about how to tell you how I did it.
