Default 12 sec 1/4 mile times without FI

Our new drag launcher will take over one second off your quarter mile time!

After much experimentation, we have come up with the perfect launch unit for the S2000.
We got the idea from a friend who owns a bunjee jumping business. We contacted his mfg of cord and this is what we did.

We have attached two equal length MAXOSTRETCH bunjees under the rear wheels. These cords are secured firmly to the frame then taken around the axles where they attach to a modified parking brake actuator.

The fastes I've seen is simple:

Pull up to a cliff about 1/4 mile in height, put it into first, and drive it off the cliff. You should run the quarter mile in half the time!
