Don't be an idiot. TI is 1600ft or so and a short runway. As fast the car is it needs the help to slow down in such a short distance. It's a safety thing.

Which is great for a track car taking a lot of driver error out of the equation.

Pretty sure I can break the 20 second mark now since I don't have a shitty TS tune on it. Lol

I'm pretty sure that doing a burnout in 1st gear standing on the rev-limiter forcing the car to go into limp mode to protect itself from you had nothing to do with the TS tune on that 25 sec pass. lmao.

You must not have seen the latest 1320 videos of the AMS Alpha 20 GTR that is trapping just over 200 at TI, and has a chute.
