Mid 12's are coming.....

Nice shifting!!!

Too bad I don't have it now cause there's an import/domestic shootout tomorrow at Raceway Park.

I'll see if I can make it next week at Atco. They are also having same shootout. If I get a chance to put test piped on & get a tune, I also will join you in the 12's. I just hope that I still remember how to drive an AUTOMATIC

It's a temporary DD car

Till the new cars come out & till I see how my stock gamble ends up. Since I'll be using stock tires, that's a concern.

No wonder the shifting sounded smooth

Were you paddle shifting or just left it in drive? What rpms were the shifts at??? Thanks

i shift in manual mode, and i shift exactly as redline, i dont like doing it in d-mode cause the car holds the gear to long before shifting.

I took a very short test drive & just wasn't comfortable/used to shifting without a clutch

Will practice some next Sunday, IF. If I get test pipes & a tune & the weather is ok, no rain. Will consider going without the TP's & tune.

I just don't think I'll be able to do 1.90's 60ft with stock street tires. I was doing 1.8's with my 350, BUT that was WITH M/T street/drag radials.

Atco is very far away from me. So I'll just see after I get my car.

If I may, you crossed the finish line in 4th gear? What RPM were you at crossing the finish line?
