Nope, no timeslips on the SC.  I did use a gtech on it at one point but only once.  Really bad launch and slow 1-2 shift, it said 15.4 @ 95 so it has some power.  It also stayed almost exactly equal to my buddies ecoboost F-150

Is my price too high or what? I've had virtually no interest in it at all!
