You're one of those guys that put 320 compound street tires on a car, now it spins, so you think its fast .
Lol. It went faster than 123. That was my first pass. But hey. I’m sure your very first time to the track you were a lot faster than that, right? I mean, you have better have been with your race car. I trapped 125 on 7lbs with a broken v band on my crossover. On 13-14 psi like the car is now it’ll probably go a little faster. You’d probably still beat me, but whoopie. There’s always someone faster. And I’m ok with that. It’s all in what you/I want and like. I like a nice quiet comfortable car. You like a rattle trap car with a three speed that limits how much you like to drive it. That’s cool too. No worries. I don’t want a race car, you do. So I hope you would beat me. Because if I beat you with my 4l60e.....I’d never let you live that down. Lol.





P.s. I like ******* with you. Wink.

All joking aside, it would 2 busses by the 8th, and god forbid we ran out the back. The man would be inconsolable.

What it do out the back? Im pretty sure if I drove it like I didn't need to drive it home, it would be a little different. I try to walk the thin line of running a good number, and living to fight another day.

Bottom end, and transmission isn't what makes a car fast. It can definitely affect longevity though, and in the case of the 60e, well..... just stroll through the transmission section.

I drive mine to and from the track and it’s a GTO with a 4l60e. If I had an 80e and built motor I’d max out the D1x. Coulda shoulda woulda if...lol...we’re all messing with you now.

I’ve had good luck with 60e’s, but haven’t owned anything over 700 rwhp “yet”. One was a 408 with nitrous and now cam only with a D1x. First one was still strong when I sold the car in 2008 and still going strong when that guy sold the car a few years ago. It didn’t have the nitrous on it when I sold it and he never raced it though.

Its gotten to where it will peak around 18ish, and drop, pretty sure its time to replace the spring (old/weak). I'm going to trap 145 tomorrow....

Wish me luck, I'm gonna need it. I'm racing this tomorrow, I've rode in it, and although it's been low 10s with the 5 speed, I'm certain it's an 8 second car with the glide/two step/brake he just installed. We've been giving it to each other for some months now, and we will meet tomorrow. The car is a bad @$#%^.
