I keep seeing people state that 1/4 mile time is skill. That's just not the case with this type of car and a DCT transmission.

I have drag raced for 20 years and the only skill evolved is being able to keep your cool and to cut a good light (unless you have a manual transmission). The DCT at Drew's power level is just not capable of achieving an amazing 60' time (it's great for 60-130 runs though

). I'm sure Drew would love to bolt some slicks on the back, do his burnout, and floor it on the last yellow but he does not want to be the second DCT transmission build up.

Great MPH Drew!
