"the car had a slow launch due to a 2.75 rear axle ratio and a 4 speed M-22 Rockcrusher"

. . . and the fact that he didn't really launch the car. That's a pretty impressive machine. I love how it gobbled up the other car in the quarter mile after a no-launch start to run in the 13's. The long trunk really looks funny on a road racer.

That is still pretty good for a roadrace car
