First of all a awd car is tuff to launch but if you drive one all the time it should not be a problem. Any car is hard to figure out but once you do its not a big deal. Second, Justins car is setup for roll races and if java cant dig then so is his car "technically". A rematch is definately needed but I think Justin will win from a roll. If java would dig race he would have a way better chance of winning if he launches it. We'll see on Friday.
Yes it would be a good race for the rx7 from a dig but Java wont run. He needs a clutch.

We understand, however bogging is just as bad as sitting and roasting the tires. Both will result in horrible 60 ft times.

Do some rolls and some digs. Then everyones happy and you have different measurments of the cars.

Launching a awd car is not any easier or harder that a rwd or fwd.
The difference is that a awd can hook if launched properly with out the need of a drag radial or slick.

wow some one finally with an AWD car said this ... i would think its easier to launch a 400 awhp compared to a 400 fwd hp car just for the fact of all of the spinning of the FWD car
