I've done quite a few runs at the pod in mine, although its not charged, but has a shrick, but no chip so being held back as knock sensors holding power back. Best time, 14.3 (no leather, only drivers seat!) Best time, 14.6 (complete with ICE and interior!) Think this proves that its all down to traction and launch with a front wheel drive car, as Mintys car is far quicker than mine on the open road!
