I hear you man. You also forgot to mention that being a new track, Infineon has a lack of rubber on the launch pad. Resulting in poor traction but. I think a stock S2000 and or a stock RX-8 shouldn't have any real big traction issues. I pulled a 2.0 60 ft my first time at the track.

I could just be cruising in second gear and hammer the throttle and the tires would just light up. I had to run my drag radials if I wanted to give the car WOT, it was that bad.
