Hrm this will be interesting. Your biggest problem will be your auto and your weight.
Remove your spare tyre and back seat if you can be bothered. Removed anything that adds to excess weight. Put BP Ultimate in your tank but if your going racing you don't wany any more than half a tank.
Push your power button in and manual shift from L - 2 - D and keep it flat.
Unless you want to spend money to get your car up and racing this would be a great way to go. Some octang boost would also help but if the mirage is manual and because its so light you might find you have a problem... But remember your 2.6 is a real torquey motor so let us know how you go.
heh can the mirage even get to 200 hahaha :) .
also does the TR auto have a rev limiter ? if it does does disconecting the TPS prevent it from working ?

Ehehe memories, I remember when I first got my KS I dragged a Mirage and got killed. My car was stock standard and I didn't know any better than to just floor it. Mirage was manual with machined throttle body, extractors, and exhaust. I would suggest load up the engine using the brakes, and release at around 2500 or so.

i dont know about his, but mine is bein gay, the stupid ECU wont let it rev above 2k whilst the brake is on... anyway around that?
