    Attended a private airfield drag race event over the weekend. The 488 could not get pass warmup mode after a full morning of drag racing, the front tires were always blue, stuck in warmup mode. Does the car cut power when it’s not in “go” status?
    The 488 did not do well from a dig or a roll from its peers and lost to even cars like the Ferrari FF and 991.2 gt3rs.

    Did you use the launch control? So it sounds like you were able to race normally but later the car seemed to go into some limp mode?

    I have driven mine twice at the track in hot weather and not experienced any issues like that.

    I ran no less than 20+ times, with and without launch control

    Any Jeep pics ? 1500 hp Jeeps sounds crazy and yet worth a look. Best , Kirk.
