How does this work at the drag strip? Car and Driver obviously didn’t do this at a real strip. Must be fun at stop lights although kinda obvious when tires are smoking and it hasn’t turne green yet.
C&D also uses corrective measures--- thats why their numbers are almost always better than other mag numbers... none the less- the car is putting down the power AND has grip this time.
