That traction and stability coming in at over 100 mph 👁👄👁

[@jayfitmob8645]

Bro I can't believe you were still losing tracktion and at a hundred miles an hour. So proud to have known you guys for many years. Excellent build, and a beautiful name behind it, f*** the Dodge 😈 Demon 😂

[@healingenso7923]

My 2WD Jaguar F-Type S with a mere 400HP, has wheel spin in first, second, third and I am sure in fourth if I had the nerve to stay in the gas. Traction control doesn't eliminate it, but helps some. If I hit any road surface imperfection I get a mercy up shift. I get spoiler deployment at 70MPH that helps. But I am totally unsurprised to see the celebratory wheel spin light on, like that with 900HP at the rear wheel.

[@SergioPerez-xk8ep]

@@healingenso7923 You probably have baby tires 🙃

[@healingenso7923]

@@SergioPerez-xk8ep - I do have skinny tires. The car wasn't designed just for drag races and so there's a compromise - but saves a little on rolling resistance. I did have some issues with the same HP from my old C5 Corvette - less problematical but still getting loss of traction with 310's on the back. I considered going to 325's but space was getting tight for that.
