Hey i know, i was very dissappointed with it. Problem is i can't rev it over 5,000rpm, if i do the peddle sticks and then i can't get it into 3rd. If i keep it under 5 grand and baby shift it then it works fine. Damn manuals!!!!!! Tires are 275/40 Ricken Raptors, they work nice on the street but suck at the track. My best 60' was a 2.28 worst being a 2.52. Anything over a 1500rpm launch results in severe tire spin. I think some nitto's are gonna be on order here shortly for it.

i think the best thing you can do for your time is get that clutch issue resolved. sounds like its binding on something. good tires will help ge tyour 60' time down, but your trap speed is low too, should be 106+, even with crappy tires.

but ive gotta say, its ok that its slow...thats better for everyone to see what a hot car that is.
