"automatics win races, manuals only impress high school kids."

 

"win races" on the drag track only.......not highway and not for races around turns. Dont get me wrong i love how these autos fly and are so consistent at the track. either way all i was asking was if someone has done it with a stock rear and everyone who has had an auto did it easily i get that............

 

with the right stall they do good from a roll also, i have no complaints...

i would never go back to a manual again but ill admit sometimes i do miss banging gears...

 

ya i had an older TA with a stall it was a beast. And look at the times your putting down 11.4 and that mph is great. Ive done 115 mph and cant get past 12.1 so theres nothing that compares with numbers. Autos rule drag racing not to mention dont beat the hell out of the drivetrain. (As much anyways)

 

You selling it!
If I had that vette I wouldnt give a rats *** if it was a auto on the highway lol

 

Thats why I wanted to go with a pt4000 but it was my first stall and I was scared so went ss3600. I love it but I see the pt4000 would be no problem.
pt4000 = awesome roll racing stall

 

In Good air and DA the car would run 11.52@124 w/ out a stall and thats w/ 2.56's !

 

what does car weigh? converter and gear?

 

2975 with 5 gallons of gas, and a full bottle of nitrous in it. Yank SS4000 converter and 3.42 gear.

 

made 11.5s with just bolt ons, but in a gto with stock 3.46 gears

 

Thats great in a GTO its not often i see a fast one they are heavy cars

 

No wonder, major weight reduction.. Thats almost 400 lbs lighter than stock..

 

My car has ran 11.53 with 1.46 60' last Feb. then with the heat it has been running 11.80's. I just installed a F14 cam about five weeks ago and it's now running 11.33. Can't wait for some cold weather. It should run in the 10's.

 

Yes it has been done with an M6, with just bolt-ons.

 

the previous owner of my m6 car did it stock internals by the skin of his teeth... 11.95,11.99,11.96 all at 111 this was in real good spring air - DA well below sea level

Everyone has their preference but if you want to be quick...auto is the shcit.

 

Yup..... or you could learn to drive

 

That's funny...but talk is cheap...auto's are quicker no matter what type of (unfounded) belittling is attempted.

 

Autos don't suck. Neither do manuals. Closed minded people on the other hand......


There are lots of autos around that can keep up with manuals. It's all about matching the right cam, stall and gears. You take a cam that likes upper rpm power and add it to a 4000+ stall with a big shift extension. Then add 3.73 gears to the mix. You will have a BEAST that pulls from a stop as well as a roll (the converters flash rpm and shift extension make the auto pull hard from a roll as dead spots are eliminated and shifting errors are non existent).

But to answer your question, yes there are plenty of cam only M6 LS1's on 3.42's that broke into the 11's. It takes a good driver and some drag radials for traction but it's been done plenty of times. Biggest concern is keeping the 10 bolt from breaking. Try to keep the 60's in the 1.7's or 1.8's. if you start hitting 1.6's or lower then you are on borrowed time!

 

I know, I just like to talk ****. Although I doubt my car would go much faster (if any) with an auto in it.
