Default well its a start

my car totaly let me down today i am so pissed.

got one ok run out of it but it was the feeler pass (first time ever out in this car and first time out with a stick). pulled a

rt-----.376
60-----2.128
330----5.630
1/8----8.571
1/8----83.9 mph
1000--11.084
1/4----13.28
1/4----102.41

it spun through first and I was shifting it like a old man. also i hit my rev limiter and rode it out through the traps way out so could have done better if i shifted to 4th.
this was all on bfg g-force sports 275/40-17s and weighs in at 3670 with me in it.

the second and third runs my car was totaly crapping out and breaking up. I think i have water in my tank or some thing its just all screwed up i am so pissed.

over all though every one was real cool and murda's car looks awesome in person come a long ways from the v6 it was.

What do you mean "I felt like an old man."???? Some of us "old men" still run fairly fast. Just kidding

You just need some practice. It take a while to get use to a stick at the track.

mods: are slp lid, arh 1 3/4 headers with cated y, magnaflow cat back, umi lower control arms umi pan hard and 3 point sub frame connectors also urethane torque arm bushing. car put down 332 rwhp and 347 rwtq. also stock clutch with 87k on it sucks for hard launches. launched at about 2300 and rolled on the gas on launch then shifted like they tell you to in drivers ed

I can shift quick enough that people think i have a auto that has a kit in it. But I just did that run to feel out the track. Now I wish I had just gone ***** out on the first one because the other two where all screwed up.
