To an Aston Martin coupe. She really let me down, it was a traction issue, not a horsepower issue.

He wanted to go off the line, so I launched light and feathered the throttle. Spun still. I don't know if it's just that I'm used to the quicker acceleration or what, but I was barely on the gas and I didn't feel like I was launching all that hard and it still spun like crazy.

So I short shifted into 2nd, gave it some more throttle still feathering it. Felt like it was hooking so I layed into it and then it got squirrely. So I short shifted into 3rd, hooked and started to pull on him. But by then I was doing 80 in a 45 so I said fuck it.

Don't want to lose my license. If only we were on the freeway. I think more than an intercooler I need some drag radials.
