traction is not an issue with the all wheel drive. i couldn't spin tire if wanted too. i just use the factory launch limiter to build boost at the line, then dump the clutch and am on my way.
the reason i am aiming for low 12's, is that i did a 13.8@100 last year at the strip, with my old 2005 evo, and i couldn't drive for shit at the time. the 2006 i picked up in january has a good deal more horsepower, and much better boost response due to mitsubishi's addition of a computer controlled adjustable intake cam. well, that and the extra goodies i have added to the car after picking it up a few months ago ;)
good drivers have gone 12.8 with a stock 2006 evo, so i am thinking it is within the realm of possibility for my to go 12.3 - 12.4 with a few practice runs.
i just gotta get a day when the the strip isn't closed due to rain, and i don't an autocross the same time the drags are open.
where is maple grove at?
god i love race season.
