Nope, no cruise. It's just like gman said, it goes for a sec then cuts off, kinda violently I might add, haha. I think if you could rig up some type of custom speed sensor at the rear axle, you could probably get it to work. Then you could do alot of things like use the two-step feature, to name one.

Some 295's in the back will increase the good ole G Force effect for your passenger upon "take off"!!!!

We all wait patiently for some vids!!!

No drag radials, but I am running 295 Michelin PS2's, which do very well considering what kind of power they are being asked to put to the ground

This is the reason why I didn't get the FCON when I got back my 1st first built motor. After blowing that motor I decided driving my car was more important that having a functional cruise control feature on a non-drivable car.
