If you have ABS, the brakes wouldn't lock. I am sure your GA GT has ABS standard.

ebrake.. but you dont need to warm up your tires much, just a chirp out of the water box will do ya fine.

You have been drag raceing for 2 years and you didnt know that the e-brake locks your rear tires?

I run BFG DR's and i have to turn the tires at LEAST 5-8 times to get them sticky enough to get a good 60ft. And that just a 'good' 60ft.
