Warmed it up, took the cover off and went for a 10 minute blast down Hall Rd. After roasting the tires a couple of times in second gear they seemed to warm up enough to hold third gear finally. Did a couple of 3rd gear pulls up to 6 grand...fast enough for this time of year IMHO. Even though peak power only went up 65RWHP, at 6K there is a 92RWHP improvement from last years power level. I could feel the difference.
Now I'm sure it's a combination of having not driven the car in 2 months AND more power....but the car just felt insane. Starting at 4 grand it just pushes you back and never lets off. Total rush.
3rd gear goes by like 2nd gear use to. I expect high 10's come spring. And that's with the Viper T56's 2.66 first gear which isn't ideal for drag racing. If I get adventurous and start powershifting mid 10's. Bring on the call outs (Phil and Scott are excluded).
Felt good as hell to take the car out for a short drive.
That is all.
