But please, get to a drag strip.. You seem like a cool guy from what you post! That 60-130 time is fast! I'd love to see what you put down.
I'm saving up for some rear wheels and drag radials, so once I get those I plan on going. I will probably wait until the fall though, it's getting nice and warm here in Georgia.

Yes sir... The DCT clutch is either engaged or not. You can't slip the clutch like you can in the 6 speed.

My first sports car was a 1993 Camaro, first year of the LT1 engine. I went 10.50 @ 130mph, so anybody that has the power to run 125 or faster can run 10s if they can get a good 60' time.
