not quite, a hole shot is the one to break the beams first (reaction time)

George, what is the stall speed of your converter ? assuming it's over 3000 I agree, 1700 may be getting too much of a 'run' at your converter. Regardless, 1.5 60' is sweet !

Nice picture, I had a 2015 ruby-red GT, it was a 6spd manual. Just bought a 2017 GT, grabber blue, black accent and wheel package, 6spd manual.

Very cool George. And looking good too in that metallic red! I saved that pic to both Mustang & 911 folders.
I've been thinking I'd like to have a car that accelerates as quickly as the stock Yamaha Vmax I had almost 30 years ago. I didn't race it but the figures of the day were 10.9 and 0-60 in 2.9. Your car is quicker. It's awesome.

I looked in the comments for the time. There was just one comment and it was actually that very question.
Do you mind if I cut/paste most of the above to Youtube?

Thanks! Grabber blue is a eye catcher!
