Yea, the drive by wire is tricky. The 'sprint booster' is made to alleviate the DBW symptoms (especially from the launch). I think that is what caused all of the traction issues though. On the street, I seem to launch better.

And, the car is definitely MUCH more at home on the highway than it is on the 1/4 mile.

I was going to go back out there last night with the cooler air and low humidity, but I didn't make it out.

Maybe next week - I want to get it into the 12's like some of the other guys are doing, 'stock'. I figure I can shave a few tenths off of my 60', and cooler/drier air may account for better times throughout. With these continental contitrac touring tires (19"), it will be tough!
