Thx, I forgot to mention I only had 3 runs (12.2 12.1 & 11.8), and I'd never driven it hard til I got to the track.
I'm sure w/ some practice it could be whittled down to lower 11s @ my track. MPH would hopefully improve some, but nowhere near 130...

The stock F1s held decently, but DRs would definitely help ET.

One thing I will say is that the gearbox on the '08 is a lot more positive than the '06Z I had. There was an issue of going into a never-never land while missing a shift going into 3rd, kinda like a space between 3rd & 5th on the '06.
