It’s all we have here so it’s kinda the only place I have to fully appreciate the landmissle. I’m on a 75sq mile rock with a max speed limit of 50mph, no circuit track and until recently no drag strip.

I’m not trying to be cheap but there’s a time when it’s smarter to draw a line in the sand than reach the water not knowing how to swim.

I’ve raised the car up and brought it to the alignment shop with 400lbs of **** in the trunk to get it to full squat to get as close to 0 camber with everything loaded up and reduce the camber gain when launching.

If I can crack a 1.5 60ft without grenading the CV’s I will be just fine with that. I’ve seen what happens when you have a very good clutch time diff and one axle breaks mid track. 99% of the time you’ll break them at the starting line but I’m not about to put my car in a wall because all the power goes to one wheel in a hurry. At launch a driver with enough mechanical empathy and a decent hand brake can preload the suspension to reduce the shock (dunno if I fit that description ��)

I mean this in the most respectful way possible but everyone in this thread so far is just speculating, educated speculation but speculation none the less.

If I find out the hard way I will update with my findings
