Well I redeemed my self and finally ran a best so far with Jerry's car...

Took Trilogy's number one car to a Local drag strip called "Lapeer dragway" early Sunday morning with 50-55 degree air.
Drove it sixty miles there and only sat about 10 minutes before the first run, and right off the street it went 12.42@111mph!
And then proceeded to run a 47 and several 50's and 60's. Most of the 12.50's and 60's where hot lapping it. Never shut the engine off for the last several runs... just got back in line after collecting the time slip.

For those folks who got a ride or had an opportunity to drive the Trilogy number one MM, the 12.42et it did today is a totally unchanged combo from what we had in TX. Just brisk, awesome air and played with launch techniques. The only weight reduction is removing the spare tire at the track for running.


Thanks

About time you had a decent run with that thing.

What did you find to be the best launch technique?

Good job Lidio!! I cant wait till Ubly, it will be interesting to see how my car compairs to the #1 car. Only differences being the pully, about a pound of boost difference, and the 410s. I will be hoping I can throw the nitto drag tires for a good comparison run. I will second what Lidio said about this cold crisp air, it makes these cars feel soooo much faster. I used to describe my car as pulling like a freight train, now it feels like a freight train with a solid rocket booster strapped to the roof. I wish it was like this year round! Damn, Jerry and Lidio have born one hell of a beast into the world!

Jerry, when I first rode in the car before the open house I knew you had a special car. Great time. See you in Ohio.

This is really good news, y'all should be proud. Hard work pays off, and it's good to see the rewards owed and earned get paid off.

It's Menace! Man I got so used to seeing your daily updates that I actually miss them in some strange way. You should hang around more and give us the goods on your new life (as a monster Trilogy SC owner)!!!!
