Default Kill and be killed! WooHoo

Been wanting to get it on w/S2K, but never able to corral one until tonight. After getting next to an eager S2K driver, I also found that the third lane was taken by a highly decalled Eclipse. What are those odds? Now, I really had a full plate! We each acknowledged one another and when the light changed, hammers dropped. I was/am very proud of my Touring w/5AT. With TCS off, I preloaded a very little bit (2,000rpm) and let er' fly. I pulled the S2K by 2 car lengths to 75mph and the Eclipse by a full car length all the way to 100mph.
We tried again and the Eclipse got a whale of a launch and he had me by an even car length to 80 when I began to reel him in and the S2k was back by maybe 3-4 lengths. @ 100mph. Then I tried the S2K from a roll @ 40mph. Mistake! He handed me my lunch to the tune of 2 car lengths that I couldn't make up all the way to 90+. We ran all three once more from a stop and the Eclipse jumped me by about 1 car length and then I reeled him in and was about to pass him @ 80 when he quit. He then admitted he was running nos, but I don't know how much.
All in all, the Z did herself proud tonight, I thought. I am very impressed with my Z in this VERY high pressure session! The only problem I have is the stock rubber gives me no feedback as to traction. I cannot hear it breaking traction. Anyone else experience this? Regards, Jim

Great run! AT's are great for 1/4 mile or stop light to stop light jaunts .

I have a similar problem with my M/T. Can't really tell when tractions brake as well.
