Default nitrous pass in car video

Here is a link to the in car vid I took a Byron dragstrip Friday night. Car is a 04 Z06 with LG Pros no cats, Vararam and a 100 shot via NOS plate. My launch was very soft due to wheel hop and (1.97 60ft.) third gear shift was slow due to clutch and trans issues. Time was 11.6 @ 124. Enjoy

1. why are you burning out on stock radials? Doubt it helps much.
2. shift faster (1-2 was okay)

Nice vid!

Nice vid!
The goodyear supercars stick much better after a good burn out. I run them at 26psi and it seems to do very well. No burnout = sideways in second.
I can only shift as fast as the trans and clutch will allow. Thrid gear has some issues. I'm sure many of you will think I just suck at shifting, but thats not the case. If you think you can do better your more than welcome to try. You break it you buy it.
After the run in the video the car would not go into any gear until the clutch was pumped a few times.
And thanks for all the compliments, more videos to come soon,

Get that stuff fixed. Beating on a tranny that doesn't function properly could end up damaging more internal components...resulting in a more costly repair. Synchros and such are relatively inexpensive, but internal gear sets are pricey.

lol very true. even if it sounds like a "just brakes" commercial.

Mine does that too, when i rev it up, i just suck out all the fluid in the resevoir when i get home and replace it when that happens.

hopefully mine is sprayed soon too

Awesome vid. I can't believe your tires are holding a 100 shot. Must be a well prepped track.
