couldn't foot brake it over 1200 rpm due to from what i've read torque management kicking in. this is with traction control turned off. that's no fun. could probably crack a 12 if i could launch harder. i never needed to burn out the tires because of the 2.73 gears and tires.

Hi! I noticed that you mentioned using Toyo Proxes R888 when you went on track. I would like to get your insights about it. I'm just wondering if you ever had a hard time breaking them loose when you warmed up the tires.
