So is it at KCIR raceway, There is a better lane on this track but you will find that out in testing. But both can suck equally on any given day. Also the shut down is a little short in my oppinion have really good brakes. Im really surprised you are running at KCIR but ill be there.

all im saying is u can pretty much guarantee that the mustang will be boosted,will be hiding a kit,and will prolli be faster than 8.5's.your gonna have to knock off a second off the record.just saying asking for lengths cause its a stick is gonna be gay.now itd be funny as hell if u setup the console to look like a 6 speed but was in reality a th400 or something.no one would expect that.anyways,i really want u guys to beat them and bring that car home.just dont want the limiting factor for the car to be a stick/w chance of driver error.

Also I agree with the idea of proshifting the trans!!! shifting a pro shifted T56, I can only imagine would be as exciting as having sex with Angelina Jolie! i have never shifted a face plated T56, but i would imagine it is even better than that.

Why does everyone keep arguing about the set up of this car? They're not going to tell you whats going in it, its obvious the mustang guys will be reading this. All this bickering back and forth is rediculous.

sorry, "dude". reading comprehension>you. read number 3 just incase you cant find it due to the lack of reading comprehension skills.

2. Pinks has asked that we keep the combo on the secret side, for surprise factor on raceday. I don't agree with this, but it is their show.
3. The car will be an automatic, losing a vehicle due to a missed gear would suck. Figure a built TH350/400 for durability and consistency.
do some research before you open your mouth.
