I'm amazed at how much was gained on wimpy California 91 octane, but that is just scratching the surface compared to the gains that will come with E85. I am using MHD. Once I figured out the correct procedure it worked flawlessly.
Nice.

Side note: got any pics of your Goat and Mustang?

I find everyone wants to race the A90 - but no more than the A80 and A60! People don't seem to want to race the A70.... I think because it looks a lot faster than it is?

Austin TX is full of Mustangs, Camaros, and Challengers. Now that the highways are pretty clear, thanks to COVID, Iā€™m getting challenged nearly every day on the way to work or back (I work in the medical field, and so am I considered ā€œessentialā€). Iā€™d be lying if I said it isnā€™t kinda fun beating the muscle cars. Lost to a ZL1 todayā€”no surpriseā€”but I think he was shocked at the run I gave him (I have a Schnitzer tune).

Best runs Iā€™ve had have been against a SRT 392 and a M2C: both very even. Their mods are unknown.

Any one else getting challenged?
Getting challenged on almost a continuous basis. Doesn't seemed to have happened this much on previous cars I've owned.

Highlights from this week:

Smoked a M3, a 1991 Lambo (Diablo), a C63 convertible (that dude was pissed), and a c7.

I got gapped by an Alpine. And destroyed by a Huracan Performante.

Am I reading Schnitzer's website correctly: $7K for a tune??!! That can't be right. Jeebus, that's nuts.

Saturdayā€™s kills include: Audi A7 (tuned), supercharged Tundra TRD, and a 2018 Coyote Mustang.

Got torched by a Hennessy tuned Jeep Trackhawk. That thingā€™s nuts!

A lot of variety wanted to race me even Lamborghini and Ferrari. Raced a mod 2000 bmw M3 50 rolling and beat him. Other than that everyone just tailgating and passing me by with 100+ mph expecting I would try to catch up.. give me the light and Iā€™ll race it but if not I wonā€™t even bother.

Lost by one car length to a c8 today from a rolling 40. Pretty happy about that tho. I bailed at 140.

Same here. Im cruising going at least 80-90 and people are either tailgating me or trying to pull up next to me. And they arent even vehicles that you would think cruise that high like a prius or old ass ranger and other random cars and trucks.

No challenges here yet...just people taking pics, rolling their windows down at stop lights and giving me the thumbs-up. Don't see too many on the roads here. Was invited to race it in Chandler, but that's it.

I was stopped at a light today and the homeless guy that was camped out there gave me a thumbs up. The last time I got a homeless thumbsup was in my 2013 Boss 302.
