Nothing like having all that weight already over the drive wheels. The second run was weird. He must have inched forward just enough to break the beams.

So other that "race fuel" and Toyo tyres its "bone stock"..

See - that's the real rub - "bone stock" means stock tyres and STOCK fuel tyep.

If the car is really running race fuel, then the real reason would be because they tweaked the tuning on the car and need the higher octane to prevent it pinging itself to death.

Quick, but not stock

The engine management would adjust automatically to allow for race fuel?

And greed, those wheel are not stock, but being bigger would they not blunt acceleration unless the gearing has been changed?

Turbo charged love hi octane fuel for higher boost and it less risky whit detonation.
So that gt2 could be pretty much stock only running race fuel or have a tweaked ecu but otherwise and i don't think that it has aftermarket exhaust because it sounds very much like a stock gt2
