You must be at high elevation right?
Atlanta isnt too high above sea level... Justin just had quite a bit of trouble catching traction the few times he has gone to the dragstrip.
That will be resolved with a nice set of slicks, however...
must be nice to have your car in a mag
Actually I never thought I'd see the day. I am not really magazine worthy, but just happened to be in the right place at the right time!
No offense to Justin or anyone, but 14.9s are really really awful times
I thought a Mx3 with 250whp/tq was able to hit low 13s?
But then again, he dosent have slicks and may not be a good driver
Has Justin modified his suspension?

No offense Juans but I would have thought anyone realizing a MX-3 making 250 would have serious traction problems. Exactly what Justin ran into and Perry mentioned earlier.
