Wish they would have given the MPH when running in Extend.

I don’t think the video was posted on a thread of its own but was buried in other long discussions.

A few thoughts:

It could use a couple hundred pounds of weight reduction.

He mentions that a/c was on for all but 1 run.

Doesn’t appear he turned traction control off.

Doesn’t try any different launch techniques (stab and go).

Extend trap speed seems over 100 mph still based on the video.

I think the point of the video wasn’t to get the best time, just to see how consistent it is.

But honestly, losing 4/10th at 70% is actually pretty bad. That’s like a 50 hp loss. Pretty significant since 70% is still a high state of charge.
